"for you the future is refugee coloured" - Christmas

But Christmas - please correct me if I am wrong here BUT:

In 1948 the Egyptians invaded, occupied and annexed Gaza (which was part of Palestine) then shut the Palestinians up in refugee camps on what was Palestinian Territory. Israel unilaterally withdrew from Gaza in 2005, handing the complete territory over to the "Palestinians". Can you tell me why there are any Palestinian refugee camps in existence on Palestinian territory?

In 1948 the Jordanians invaded, occupied and annexed the West Bank and East Jerusalem (Both parts of Palestine) then shut the Palestinians up in refugee camps on what was Palestinian Territory. In accordance with the Oslo Agreement in 1993 areas of the West bank were placed under direct control and rule of the Palestinian Authority. Can you tell me why there are any Palestinian refugee camps in existence on Palestinian territory in those areas of the West Bank governed by the PA?

In Lebanon, Jordan and in Syria the Palestinians were shut up in refugee camps.

Can you give me the name or location of one single Palestinian Refugee or internment camp set up in Israel by the Israelis? After all 20.7% of Israel's 8,146,300 people are Arabs.

It would appear Christmas that only in Palestinian Territory and in neighbouring Arab lands that Palestinian Refugee Camps exist.
