Michael C,
Don’t forget there were and are Christian Palestinians in those camps.
To all others,
Doesn’t strike anyone as amazing that the huge costs in both human and financial terms, the ongoing insoluble problem of MidEast Peace are in the main the result of European powers that couldn’t get along with a segment of their own population (European Jewry) and are not now, nor ever have been held accountable for this? With all the pogroms, Dreyfus Affairs and the like, finally culminating in the Holocaust I can’t say I blame European Jewry for wanting out, I’d leave too! Just check out where most of the original leaders of Israel came from, it sure wasn’t the Middle East! Combine this with the fact that a good number of Jewish communities lived in the “Arab World” for centuries with very little persecution when compared to Europe! In fact if you take all the slaughtered by the “other” peoples of the Middle East from 622 AD until today, and compare it with the number of Jews slaughtered by European powers from 1622 AD ( a one thousand year late start) to the present you’ll find the Europeans “win” hands down as having killed more Jews! It is almost like this whole sordid situation throughout the Middle East, of which Lebanon’s misery is a part, has been caused by Europe’s problem of ethnic hatred of the Jews!
Just a thought.
