Abstract
In light of the recent forced displacement of Palestinians in Gaza, Chloe Kihlman (LL.B.) contextualizes why Palestinians (not) becoming refugees in Egypt (or any other country) becomes a choice between personal security and loss of one’s homeland. This is to preface the argument that the international “community” and international human rights law have failed to guarantee the Palestinians their recognized right of return, questioning its capabilities in finding a solution in light of its own imperialist history, and calling for a new solution to ensure the realization of this right and the establishment of new legal rules to protect other groups from a similar fate in the future.
