Well, this went off track quickly. No great surprise there. I was at a talk tonight on an issue related to the conflict (it was about definitions of terrorism, and used the confict as its main source of examples), and as soon as the issue was opened to the floor it instantly degenerated into an argument about the general rights and wrongs of the history of the conflict, which was a shame as there's plenty of opportunity to discuss that and the issue at hand was interesting. It also attracted an unbelievable proportion of cranks.

MMMMMM, I seem to remember you casitigating Arab governments for not doing enough to integrate/accept Palestinian refugees (apologies if I'm wrong). So what do you think Lebanon should do with them given that a number of non-Muslim communities (and arguably others too) would see it as undermining their position in Lebanese society?
