Why Are The Palestinians Still Refugees? #FAIL

Why Are The Palestinians Still Refugees? #FAIL

The Arab countries continue to perpetuate the misery of their Palestinian “brothers” for their own political ends, stoking the flames of Palestinian "victimhood". Religious fanatics exploit the refugees’ suffering and sow hatred against Jews, delivering willing suicide bombers to Hezbollah and Hamas.
Hate is a weapon of mass destruction. The same forces of hatred that turned me into a refugee and nearly burned me alive on a bus in the Libyan desert continue to deliver terror around the world: Bus bombings in Israel, 9/11 in the United States, hostages in Bombay are all the result of hate education in Madrassah schools.
The Palestinians who have made their homes in Western countries, have been successfully integrated, they have a life and they are contributing to their host societies and their children are not recruited by Hezbollah.
Lebanon should take a moral inventory of their own treatment of the Palestinians before they join the flottilla of food for their poor Palestinians in Gaza.
Lebanon continues to deny 400,000 Palestinian refugees the most basic rights, like the right to buy a home, or the right to become citizens of a country they have lived in for over 60 years. I say to their government: "Haram Alekem." Shame on you for discriminating against your own brothers and sisters.
Gina Bublil Waldman was born in Tripoli to a family that had lived in Libya for centuries. She is one of nearly a million Jews who were forced to flee their homes in Arab lands from 1948-1970. She has received the Martin Luther King Jr. Humanitarian Award and has given testimony to the UN Human Rights Council. She is the co-founder of JIMENA (Jews Indigenous to the Middle East and North Africa), created to bear witness to the suffering of other Jewish refugees from Arab lands.
