One of the themes of this site is that Palestinian leaders aren't interested in building a state, but in destroying one.
One of the biggest proofs for this can be seen in the annual statistics of the Palestinian Authority presented today.
42% of all "Palestinians who live in the State of Palestine" - their words - are "refugees."
If they are Palestinians and live in the "State of Palestine" then how can they be considered "refugees?"
That's over 2 million people who live in their own country but are counted, by the UN as well, as being "refugees." And they get free medical services and housing and schooling, paid for by the world, even though they should be treated exactly as any other Palestinian Arab under the PA.
Because they don't want to live in "Palestine" but to move to Israel where they can make it another Arab state.
