Palestinians are the only refugees in the world who are not resettled in other areas, and were given inheritable refugee status. There are even refugee camp IN Palestine itself. What started out as 650K refugees or so in 1947 (which was an inflated number) has now ballooned to 5.5 million. It's an exponential function, when a Palestinian living in Paris for example marries a Moroccan and has 5 kids, that's 5 more Palestinian "refugees".

According to the UN, there now are 12+ million Palestinians, by comparison there are only 8.5 million citizens of Israel, of which 6 million are Jewish.

This organization is 10 times the size of the UN refugee group (UNHCR) which serves the entire rest of the world. They employ 30,000 Palestinians, and run the school system where they indoctrinate the kids for the cause.
