14. reality?......lets take a look at reality....

the Palestinians in Lebanon have never had a chance to assimilate since they've been cooped up within camps with laws limiting their integration into the society.

Perhaps if Lebanon would allow the Palestinians unlike most other arab countries to integrate within their country that would alleviate the discrimination...as we see what has happened in other western countries.

what for sure doesn't work is to keep a group isolated within certain specific areas, use laws to limit their freedom and then be "surprised" that they are not wanted.

but thats not the issue with you is it....as we've discovered recently. Your more of the "do what ever it takes to keep the Palestinians angry about their lives, to right a 'wrong." ..and if that means putting off giving them civil rights (your words), then that too is fine.

like the arab countries and others, if there is a choice between having the Palestinians resettled and start a new life based on civil rights or languishing in camps, (in limbo), to one day return to their Palestine you prefer the latter...(sure sounds like the rw nationalism to me-nationalism being more important than civil rights)
