Summary
In this episode, I talk about the refugee crisis in the Palestinian refugee crisis and the role of the Israeli government in dealing with the problem. I discuss how government bodies like the Jewish National Fund, the Israeli Land Administration, the Israel Land Agency, and the Jewish Agency take control of the land that was held by the Jewish people during the time of the conflict and then hand it over to the government.
