#1 "Anything less than eternal is temporary, I suppose..."

#2 the Lebanese will never, ever allow them to become integrated into their country
And rightly so Fred. Nobody likes the Paleos, certainly not their "brother" Arabs who only need them to kill Joooos.

#3 Not even the West Bank or Gaza Paleos will want these lawless (even by Paleo standards) assholes as neighbors and competitors. They are destined to die in the camps by their own hands

#4 Somebody please explain to me why such hatred in the Arab world of Palestinins and Kurds. They are all Muslims and it's Hallal for Muslims to kill other Muslims. I'm sure the answer isn't in todays sociopolitical situation but any rants are welcome.

#5 The Kurds aren't Arabs, but once they ruled...remember Saladin?

The Palestinians, on the other hand, are everyone's ill-mannered poor relations: originally they had migrated to British Palestine for the jobs that resulted when the Jews developed the economy (anyone who arrived by 1945 is entitled to call himself a Palestinian). When the surrounding Arab countries were about to invade in 1948, they called on the locals to leave, so that they would have a clear field of maneuver, with the promise that the locals could come back after and take over the Jews' houses and possessions. But it didn't happen that way, so the temporary charity guests became permanent. On the one hand a reminder of the failure to drive the Jews into the Mediterranean Sea, on the other a permanent source of political capital and cannon fodder. Hence the refusal of the Arab countries to allow the Palestinians to settle permanently anywhere. They remain officially Stateless, and I believe carry U.N. passports.

In a case of very mistaken judgment, the Palestinians have been inculcated from the get-go with the idea that they would soon return in violent triumph to their homes. Thus the summer training camps for the children, and so on. While this does make them eminently suitable for cannon fodder, it makes them equally unsuited for living among people. Thus the ungovernable armed chaos in the now-permanent refugee camps.

I hope this helps, Rightwing.

#6 Why can't they just be asked to leave?
Just ask anyone honestly they are nothing but trouble. Send them away minus their weapons and bulldoze the camps.

#8 The Arab League has acted against the Palestinian's interests from the begining.

But Al-Watan Arabic daily reported that the naturalization law would not be applicable to Palestinians living in the Kingdom as the Arab League has instructed that Palestinians living in Arab countries should not be given citizenship to avoid dissolution of their identity and protect their right to return to their homeland.
