It is very interesting how humans operate, Lebanon wants to punish the victim. Its like punishing the rape victim. She gets a divorce from her husband and is ostracized for something that she had no control over. If Lebanon were to give simple human rights to the Palestinians this will be a basis to build a strong foundation for the refugee population. I know Palestinians will never forget where they came from, but holding a man back from work because he is a victim of a situation that he has no control over? This is where Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Israel, and the world needs to step up. We have to start pushing for reform in Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, and all of the Arab world to treat refugees with respect and dignity.. The beginning to building a PR Campaign that will lead to changes is holding the countries that we as activists can actually influence accountable! Attaining Palestine needs to be United effort and it has to come from within.. From people of our blood..

What do you think the Lebanese should do about this? What should we, as outsiders to this situation, do? If the Lebanese add the Palestian refugees, it will tip the balance of the frail stability Lebanon has right now, but it is obvious we can't just let these go on.

While I don't condone Israel's horrible treatment of the Palestinians, I find it interesting that other countries are not equally berated or as likely to suffer violent attack for their equally horrible treatment of the Palestinian refugees.

So what have we learned here?

If we are at war with someone: profile, yes. Send to concentration camps and use as human guinea pigs, no

Sarah Palin was right about saving lives, after all…..

And Lebanon should grant citizenship rights to Palestinians, instead of continuing the policy of trying to keep them as a weapon pointed at Israel, which is useless and just deprives them of basic rights.
