Abstract

Since its establishment, Israel has refused to assume responsibility in any way for the Palestinian refugee problem it engendered. Israeli leaders always have declared that allowing Palestinians and their descendants to return to their homes or property inside Israel would be suicidal and would destroy the Jewish nature of the state. Successive Israeli governments have ruled out the return of millions of Palestinians to a country with a population of only six million, fearing it would remove the Jewish majority which is needed to ensure Israel as the world's only Jewish state. INSET: SURVEY SPECIFICS.
