Report Buried: Help Reveal the True Number of Palestinian Refugees

Created on January 03, 2021

The United Nations treats Palestinians differently from any other group, counting unlimited generations and even resettled people as “refugees.” This includes some 5 million people, who would otherwise not be defined as such, which makes it harder to reach a just peace in the Middle East. The real number is around 30,000.

Fortunately, in 2012 the US State Department commissioned a study based on accepted international standards for refugee status. But the findings have been “classified” to this day.

Please sign our petition encouraging the White House to release the State Department report, which could breathe new life into progress toward a Middle East peace, based on principles of transparency,
truth and real justice: for Palestinians and Israelis alike.
