A DOUBLE STANDARD THAT IS MORE THAN DOUBLE!
Lebanon's current government policy of ' No statehood for Palestinian Lebanese, even when they are born in Lebanon', is the height of hypocrisy.
Everyone knows the real story; nobody wants the Palestinians to think they can permanently stay in their country.
Even the ones that are second generation Palestinians are not allowed to have citizenship.
Not in Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Egypt ect... ect...
Why?
They will all tell you they do it for the good of the Palestinian people!!!
Ya... Right!!!
They all make the lame argument that if they are granted citizenship, they will never convince the rest of the world Palestine must have its independent state.
What they are really trying to say is, " we don't want them here".
If you don't believe me, let me ask you a few simple questions?
1. Why are they forced to live in Refugee Camps?
For their own safety??? Laughable!!
2. Who has killed more Palestinians, the Israelis or the Jordanians?
If you don't know the real answer, ask the King about his Father and the Refugee Camps in Jordan years ago.
The simple truth of the matter is the Palestinians are seen as the "Gypsies" of the Middle East and nobody wants them living next-door to them.
Sounds ugly, but it's true and they all know it!
Here is the funny part, in the US, a Palestinian can move here, buy a home and their kids will be just as American as anyone else.
The Middle East knows that and they hate it and that is one of the many reasons why the US is hated.
For all the name calling and finger pointing that goes on in today's world, the US is still the land of opportunity.
Oh ya; please don't try and tell me the American Indians live in Refugee Camps.
They live on their own land and can live anywhere in the country if they wish!
As Al Jazeera, I am sure they would have filmed a story about them not being able to move if this was true.
So, the next time someone says how unfair the PA issue is, ask them why they are not allowed to have citizenship in the countries some of them have been staying for over fifty years?
Ask them why they are not allowed to own a house in Lebanon or Jordan?
Stick to the truth and watch how fast the people you are talking to change the subject.
