How do you have a fourth generation refugee? There is no such thing except under UNRWA rules.

And so UNRWA exists to perpetuate the Palestinian refugee problem and to perpetuate the identity of these people

and not just the identity, to perpetuate the identity of these people and not just the identity to perpetuate the suffering

because Arabs can say they're still refugees that Palestinians should forever remain refugees until Israel is destroyed.

What is that? Is that a pro-Palestinian position or is that keeping the

Palestinians forever imprisoned in 1940s and 50s ideology? It's 9 PM on Sunday January 28th here in New York City. It is 4 a.m. on Monday January 29th in Israel.

This past Friday the day before the world marked the genocide of the Jews, the showa or the Holocaust, the

UN's International Court of Justice issued a preliminary ruling in South Africa's case accusing Israel, the one Jewish state, of genocide.

The infuriating news here is that this case got as far as it did and it has now put on the agenda that there was

plausibility to the charge that Israel has been committing genocide. The ICJ

ruled that some Israeli actions in Gaza could fall within the definition of the Genocide Convention

and instructed Israel to prevent acts of genocide and punish incitement and facilitate aid

to Palestinian civilians in Gaza, which by the way Israel has been doing,

while often being stymied by Hamas and by bottlenecks at the Egyptian Gaza border.

Israel will now have to report back to the ICJ in a month,

and the court could take years to decide this case.

That said, the ICJ did deny South Africa's request for an

injunction for an immediate ceasefire. Now buried in these court

developments is that the ICJ was depending on reports from what to many people

is just an obscure agency called the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine refugees in the near east

or its acronym UNRWA. This agency exists to care for Palestinian refugees

from the period 1946 to 1948.
