"The exodus, and the resulting Palestinian refugee problem remain a central and controversial topic in the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians."

If only the UN partition had been accepted, none of this would have happened. When war broke out, gloves came off and both sides behaved badly as nations do when at war. Post war the real tragedy for the Pals in addition to the one you talk about was the use of the refugees as a political pawn by the arab states to create that bogeyman in the middle east that take the peoples eyes off of their failed nations. There was not reason that after the war, a peace couldnt have been worked out where most of the grievances could have been settled. 60 years later, no one is giving back land. One year after and with the UN behind a settlement, much more could have been accomplished.
