That's worth keeping in mind. The refugees are now fleeing from all of the countries that refused, point blank, to provide aid and comfort to the Palestinians who fled the 1948 War. The same countries that have treated the Palestinians like dogs for 65 years. Admittedly, the Jordanians are staying home but they were the only country in the Middle East to play host to the Palestinians and it was the Palestinian's actions there that taught the rest of the world to be wary of accepting any Palestinians as citizens. Nothing they have done since Black September, has endeared them to anybody in the rest of the Middle East.
I honestly think you will find the links intersting and they are not very long articles.

The so-called Palestinians are considered the lowest class in the Arab world (and that's about as low class as the world offers) and rightly so. They are the dregs of a general culture lacking any redeeming societal qualities and contribute absolutely nothing of value and have not done so in the past 800-1000 years. They don't even rightly deserve the term "Palestinian" which would imply a historical heritage of the area.
PS: What is now Israel was largely vacant, untended land and unoccupied until the Jews returned and made the area a comparative paradise. The few Arabs occupying land at the time were offered inclusion in the land and refused it. Most are squatters and have no real claim to nationhood separate of Israel.
A couple of interesting articles there Cap'n. Good reading from a different perspective. Thanks for those links.
I think Commodore Al-Mulhim puts himself in considerable danger by writing what he does. But I'm glad he has the courage to speak out.
How the mighty are fallen. At one time, the Palestinian Arabs produced many of the doctors and engineers of the arab world. That was still true even after 1973 but the vast bulk of the people making up the territories followed Arafat and adopted the terrorism and used it against literally everybody which saw them kicked out of Lebanon, Jordan, Libya, Yemen, Egypt and Kuwait. They just don't get it.
There were a number of other fascinating links at Arab News to follow.
Yep, I think so too. I think he's counting on the civilizing influence of his readers being able to read English and hoping that nobody translates the articles into arabic.
