This article is a cogent presentation of how the United Nations exacerbates the Palestinian problem, rather than solving it. Its proposed solution--to abolish UNRWA, the organization that works to assist the Palestinians--is not realistic, though. It would be nice to abolish UNRWA, but I'm not sure we can. Rather, UNRWA must be "converted" into an organization dedicated to resettlement, rather than perpetuation, of the Palestinians. They could start with those in Lebanon.

The UN's Palestinian Refugee Problem
Arlene Kushner
The UN High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) has helped over 25 million people successfully restart their lives. However, no durable solution has been found in the more than fifty years since Palestinian Arabs fled Israel in its 1948-1949 War of Independence. The UN mission to assist Palestinian refugees functions in a manner totally different from other UN refugee programs and has actually prolonged Palestinian suffering. Given these failings, and in light of the existence of an entirely separate and far more successful UN strategy for dealing with refugees under the aegis of UNHCR, a serious reconsideration of the value of UNRWA's continued existence seems in order.
