"On the other hand if the goal was to perpetuate the Korean War one would have created an org like UNRWA and established camps that grow endlessly to fuel a new generation of fighters. They would be radicalized in class rooms told they would return soon and would have shown them photos of the united Korean Peninsula and sent them to summer training camps to train for the one state solution from the sea to the sea."

UNKRA, having done its job, closed down in 1958.

UNRWA was established in 1949 to deal with both Jewish and Palestinian Arab refugees. The Israeli government took over the responsibilty for Jewish refugees in 1952. The Palestinian Arabs have never taken over responsibility and by now, 75 years after the founding of the state of Israel, it's clear that they never will unless forced to do so. UNRWA perpetuates the refugee status of the Palestinians and their demands to return to their "homeland" in Israel – unlike all the other great ethnic cleansings of the last century, where the refugees have long since been absorbed into their new homes and got on with their lives. 

UNRWA is part of the problem, not part of the solution.
