Nice summary. I'm missing a few facts. Like the land having important religious sites for both Jews and Arabs. Or why people stay in refugee camps so long. Typically refugees would try to start a new life, so there must be a special case here.

At 02:08, WW2 is mentioned. What is not mentioned, is the fact that because of the Shoah during this war, and out of shame for that, Western governments allow Israel to do a lot of things during a lot of decennia after the war.

@Stephan,
I'm not sure whether the refugees do have any options.
Start a new life? Where?
I guess none of the surrounding countries are/have been overly interested in mass immigration of the Palistinians.
