And revoke the uniquely palestinian clause that defines refugees as anyone who had lived there for only 2(!) years That was the UN criteria for registration as a "refugee". Many other Arabs in the vicinity of the refugee camps turned up seeking (and getting) this status when they heard there was free food, medicare and education.

Yes, and I believe such a short (2 year) previous residence requirement for refugee status was a unique to this situation. In other countries, the person had to have been living there much, much longer. Yet another double standard.
