Default Re: What Should Lebanon Do With Its Palestinian Refugees?

But regarding the Palestinians, I'm sure that they want to feel at home and welcomed right? Well there is a majority Palesitinian state where they could go live. It's called JORDAN.

[/quoentry into Jordan by Palestinians is time-limited and considered for tourism purposes only. Any Jordanian citizen who is found carrying a Palestinian passport (of the sort issued by the Palestinian Authority and registered by Israel for validity) has his/her Jordanian citizenship revoked by Jordanian border agents. More recently, Jordan has restricted entry of Palestinians from the West Bank into its territory, fearing that many Palestinians would try to take up temporary residence in Jordan during the Al-Aqsa Intifada. This has caused many hardships for Palestinians, especially since 2001 when Israel discontinued permission for Palestinians to travel through its Ben Gurion International Airport, and traveling to Jordan to fly out of Amman became the only outlet for West Bank Palestinians to travel.

clearly you've got it all figured out. this exerpt isn't completely relevant, but the point is, jordan isn't welcoming any and all palestinians with open arms.
