Author	Asheh, Al-Hakeem A.
Title	A Life of Palestinian Refugee: A Perspective of the "Right of Return to Palestine"
Publisher	Central Connecticut State University
Date	2008
Resource Type	Master's Thesis
Notes	The Palestinian people have been portrayed by the media as homeless, helpless, stateless, or violent terrorists. Rarely have the Palestinians been presented as human beings who have suffered a devastating tragedy, a people who yearn for peace and tranquility. For decades, the Palestinians have seen their lands stolen and their peaceful existence turned upside down due to the Israeli occupation. Yet, Israelis argue that Palestinians are Arabs, can live anywhere, and Palestine is their national home; and argue that Palestine is their Promised Land, Eretz Israel. Moreover, when Israel was established in 1948, and when Israel occupied the West Bank and Gaza Strip in the 1967 war, Israel uprooted, deported, and displaced, millions of Palestinians from their homes, towns, and villages. As a result, the displaced and the uprooted Palestinians became refugees living in miserable camps, run by the United Nations, stateless and without citizenship, waiting for a peaceful, just, and comprehensive solution to return to their land of origin; Palestine. This thesis will prove that Israel is in clear breach of international humanitarian law and international human rights law. In addition, this thesis will evaluate, analyze, and refute all Israelis mentioned arguments thus proving that the domination of two powers: British Imperialism and Zionist Movement were substantially behind the tragedy of Palestinians. Therefore, the focus of this thesis will be placed on Israel's behavior as a brutal occupier, and to prove that Palestine refugees have the right – legally and morally – to return to their homes, towns, and villages as soon as possible according to the United Nations resolutions especially United Nations resolution 194. In addition, this thesis will examine the historical background of Palestine, primarily events that have influenced Palestinians and Palestine refugees, and expresses their catastrophe from the perspective of a Palestinian who lived under the Israeli occupation for almost 30 years who has never known a world without military government, identity cards, military checkpoints, curfews, violence, humiliation, and daily uncertainty.
