I presume with a name like 'Yemini' his parents might be refugees themselves.

He makes his points very well. Point well made as well Eddie. One can also point out that the oil rich Arab countries are great at giving money to terror groups but can't seem to find money to feed, shelter or provide jobs for these Palestinians. Before Gulf War I, some Palestinians were earning good money working in the Kuwaiti oil fields. Then Arafat made one of his many idiotic decisions and sided with Saddam. As Henry Kissinger said of Arafat, "He never missed an opportunity to miss an opportunity." The Kuwaits of course threw all the Palestinians out after Gulf War I. Don't hear any bleeding heart liberals like Jimmy Carter or Howard Dean condemning the Kuwaitis for their actions. I have read Yemini’s article. He makes his points very well.

It should also be mentioned that the Arab countries (especially Egypt, Jordan, Syria and Lebanon), that are primarily responsible for the refuge problem in the first place by not accepting the UN partion plan in 1948 and attacking Israel, are the only countries in the world where the Palestinians remain refugees. Had a Palestinian refugee fled to the US, Sweden, Italy or almost any other country they would have long ago become citizens, only in the Arab world do they continue to be refugees with no rights and no hope. These countries are intentionally preserving this condition to use these refugees as weapons against Israel. Very Good Point.

It's a along time that I insist, that we, Palstinans and Arabs, should focus on ourselves, and not blaming all the others. It was quite suprising even to me, as a palestinian.
