#1 Probably the one idea which all Lebanese groups(including Hizbollah and Amal) agreed on is that they want the Paleos to stay in their refugee areas and not become citizens.

This is a legacy of the Paleo oppression from the early 1970s.

#2 while in the long run it would be better for paleos to integrate into lebanon society, for now this is probably a helpful things. Leaves Hezb more or less isolated in the pro-Syrian camp.

#3 Agreed, but until the encamped Palestinians are civilized, they will continue to be a danger to themselves and to Lebanon. They've been left to the tender mercies of Arab propaganda and the UNWRA for too long. If the Lebanese want their independence to succeed, they are going to have to take actually fix their Palestinian problem.

#4 Paleos choosing not to make a decision that might lead to prolonged misery and woe? Damn strange times we're living in.

#5 The Palis are waiting for that key moment when by doing the pali thing they can f**k up Lebannon, Syria and Jordan and of course themselves for another 30 years.
