#1 Any other people who had been homeless for 65 years in the modern world would have moved out of refuge camps and into a modern state outside of the middle east. All I can think is it is a genetic defect in those people who claim to be from Palestine. They have never been there, were not born there and will hate it there if they ever get the chance to go to the west bank (fat chance those there will let them in.) It just amazes me. I would have got up on my hind legs and walked out ages ago.

#2 Barred from participating in Sundayâs election to replace Yasser Arafat, Palestinian refugees in Lebanon fear being left in the political wilderness when the new leadership comes to power.

It's practically a certainty that those still in the West Bank and Gaza are bent on continuing the current Arafart-inspired "struggle" for the near future, so I don't see what all the fretting is about. I mean, it's not like these "refugees" have something else in mind, like a peaceful resolution to their little dilemma....right?

#5 âPalestinian refugees are not taken into account in the process and the Authority president does not represent them.â

Translation: don't give all the money to Abbas---give some to me.
