defines the "registered refugee" according to the UNRWA. The text makes a distinction between "Palestine refugee" and a "registered refugee". A brilliant move, a play with words, to steer around the absurdity.

According to the document only the male descendants qualify: "and descendants of Palestine refugee males" I read. On page 32 "including legally adopted children, through the male line".

On what grounds am I supposed to understand this inequality?
