What Should Lebanon Do With Its Palestinian Refugees?
Many pro-Israelis denounce the Arab governments that withold citzenship rights to the Palestinian refugees/descendants of refugees living in their states. I agree to an extent, although I don't think that mitigates Israel's responsibilities towards them.
But I'm curious: Many pro-Israelis are also sympathetic to the Maronite Christian community in Lebanon. Israel sided with far-right/neo-facist Maronites in the Lebanese civil war for instance.
The last thing the Maronites (as well as many other Lebanese) would want is to see hundreds of thousands of Palestinian Muslims given citizenship of Lebanon, given the country's precarious ethnic balance. So what should Lebanon do with them?
Thoughts?
