| UN: 2,000 Palestinians fleeing Iraq stranded on border with Syria By The Associated Press ...two thousand Palestinians trying to flee violence and harassment in Iraq are stranded at the Iraqi-Syrian border in precarious conditions with sick children unable to receive medical treatment, the UN refugee agency said Friday. Some 437 Palestinians are living in Al Tanf refugee camp....and another 1,560 have sought shelter in al-Waleed camp... The estimated 13,000 Palestinians still living in Iraq ... [pre 2003, there were estimated to be over 100,000 in Iraq; including about 20,000 in one of Saddam's internal terrorism adjunct militias; the Shia milias are thought to have killed hundreds, maybe thousands of Paleos] ... face ongoing threats, he said. The Palestinian community there has become a target for persecution in recent years, largely because they are seen as having been favored under Saddam Hussein's regime.

| #9 Gee.... that's too bad. Wake me when they declare peace with Israel and acknowledge Israel's right to exist. Then I might be willing to listen to their plight. |

| #5 But they have a homeland! Two of them in fact, and they can choose based on tribal affiliation, original family location (Yasser Arafat was born in Egypt, as I recall, just like Moses), or preference for a secular or religious flavour to the incompetently corrupt pseudogovernment. Surely all the UN need do is facilitate their resettlement there. |
