PALESTINIAN REFUGEES One talks a lot about Palestinian Refugees and their tragic destiny, but I have never heard anybody ask "Why were they concentrated in camps and why, 50 years after the war, do they still live in camps?". During the 1948 war many Palestinians left for neighboring Arab countries. Their number is 400 000 or 700 000 according respectively to Israeli, or Arab sources. The reason of the exodus was, again according to these sources, Arab leaders' propaganda and manipulation, or alleged Zionist pressure and atrocities. Not being equipped in a chat list to perform reliable historical research, let's place the truth in the middle and agree that 600 000 Palestinians left for Arab neighbors under joint action of Zionost pressure and Arab propaganda. They were not unique refugees in this tragic period: Soviets for instance expelled 15 million Germans from East Prussia, Silesia and Pommerania. These 15 million went to West Germany counting about 45 million, i.e. every fourth German was a refugee. Germany at this time was a desert of ruins with local people living in deepest misery, close to starvation. One would expect that the locals would not welcome 15 million of additional mouths to feed. But somehow we never heard about German refugees problem, let alone about German refugee camps, or German terrorists bombing anybody. Why? Simply because they got fully integrated. Upon arrival they obtained the normal passport and all rights to share the misery of the locals. And, in few years, they made it together to one of the leading economical powers. Let's resume: 15 million smoothly integrated within 45 million of about poorest people of the world. Why 0.6 million Arabs were not integrated within 100 million Arabs, who did not suffer any war and counted several richest oil countries? Why were they concentrated in camps, in KZ's (let's call a cat a cat) without right to work, to schools, to medical care, to food even, because they lived mainly on UNNRWA and depend of it still today? Here, even the best propagandist cannot involve Israel. They were not integrated because no Arab country wanted them, because they were hated by all their Arab brothers. And because some Arab leaders wanted them in camps. Analogy with The Animal Farm jumps to the mind. Pigs want power but get cold feet when it comes to fight for it. So they need dogs, fearless tough dogs conditioned to kill anybody indicated by a pig. So they keep Palestinian youngsters within barbed wires, hungry, hopeless, hating the world outside where people work, smile, love and have fun. And they send a pig-trainer with films showing rich villas within dreamy orchards, who gives them a Kalatchnikov and says: it's all yours, stolen from you by the dirty Jews. Go and get it back. If I blamed these youngsters I would be not better than the pigs. They should be freed from Arab KZ's and the whole world should help them to get integrated, to be cured from conditioning, from obsessions, from hatred and to become normal people capable to live with other normal people. And pigs should be destroyed and prevented from turning people to wolf-dogs. An example of brotherly love. At the end of 70ths or beginning of 80ths Jordan got fed up with Palestinians concentrated in Jordanian KZ's and decided to exterminate them. Whole Jordanian army with tanks and plains attacked the camps. Several thousand Palestinians were murdered and the rest fled. Where to? To Israel of course (to Israeli occupied WB, to be precise) and some to Lebanon where they got such a warm welcome that they fled to north Israel. And what did we do? Hold it! Before answering imagine a Mexican anti-gringo terror organization getting into trouble and forcing their way to the States. What would you do? Well, we did not do it. Instead, we set up military hospitals where each of them got a check-up, a vaccination and, if needed, a treatment. And on the morrow Knesset voted a law making it a criminal offense to employ a refugee against a lower salary than that of an Israeli, including unemployment insurance, medical care and the whole welfare kabudle. I see you raise your eyebrow meaning: do you want me to believe that you are such angels? No, there were earthly components to our motives. We did not want epidemics, nor we wanted cheap black market man power cause unemployment of Israelis. But we could achieve it by doing what you would do to those Mexicans: meet them with machine guns and let the survivors run back to be killed by their brothers. As we did not do it, it seems that there were some human components to our attitude. As I said in several posts, the only friends Palestinians have in the world are the 70% of humanly minded Israelis like myself. But if pigs are not neutralized and the terror does not stop, even those Israelis will some day prefer the Greater Israel.
