(12,283 posts)The Palestinians face discrimination through out the arabs world, legal limitations of where they can live, work etc (I'm not totally up to date on the per country laws).
which is precisely why for those who claim to care about the "Palestinians" and their civil rights, there is no reason for not putting pressure on those arab countries to start treating them better. They no longer are a threat to Lebanon, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, etc
so when i hear about someone complaining about the Palestinians lack of "civil rights" I wonder why that view is so selective? There not going to be getting a state in the next year or two and they've been living as refugees with limited civil rights through out the arab world without a "peep" from those who claim they care for over 65 years now.
clearly the "caring" is on par with the way the arab host countries 'care".......they don't.
