U.N. General Assembly resolutions are not legally binding. Therefore, the 1947 division of Israel (ceding the West Bank, Gaza, and dividing Jerusalem) is not legal. The last legal division was the 1922 League of Nations' Mandate for Palestine, a Jewish National Homeland. This Mandate was affirmed in the United Nations' Charter. The 1922 division ceded all land currently comprising Israel AND Jordan for the Jewish State. However, Jordan relinquished all claims to the West Bank in 1988 and Israel relinquished all rights to Jordan in a peace agreement in 1994. It should also be noted that Jordanian law provides for a 'right of return' to the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan for all non-Jewish 'Palestinians'. (Jordanian Nationality Law, Official Gazette, No. 1171, Article 3 (3) of Law No. 6, 1954, 16 February 1954, p. 105. [reactivated in law no. 7, sect. 2, of 1 April 1963. When Jordan made peace with Israel in 1994, this judenrein legislation remained])
The refugee figures for Palestinians are more generally accepted as a range of 450-600.000 (as opposed to the gratuitous figure of 750.000 used in the above presentation), according to the U.N., which indicated in the 1951 UNRWA report that the higher figure of 600.000 was inflated by as much as 30%.
The refugee figures for Jews in the above presentation does not include the Persian Jews expelled from Iran, documented as 200.000 by the Jewish Agency. According to the Jewish Agency, over 1.1 MILLION Jews were expelled from Arab and Persian states, with over 900.000 absorbed by Israel between 1948 and 1952 without U.N. assistance. The remaining 300.000 Persian Jews went to countries such as the U.S., U.K. and Canada.
