Palestinian refugees dream of home - 28 Nov 07

One of many issues not on the agenda at Annapolis was the right of Palestinian refugees to return to their homeland.

Millions of Palestinians live outside the territories since they were forced out in 1948.

Al Jazeera's Zeina Khodr went to meet some of the refugees in the Shatila camp in Lebanon's capital Beirut.

NEVER GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT. Since when was your religion or race an excuse to force people from their homes, steal their land and towns and country, and kill with no punishment, murder and torture so that the unwanted race can leave. tfoooooo to the Zionists who have done this to the Palestinians. Palestinians you have the truth on your side, God sees all!

This saddens me. They gave up. I do not blame them.

How can there be a 5 million refugees? Only 700k left in 1948. Most of them will be dead in 20 years.

@bbproductionsLA I have no pity for these Arab refugees from Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Iraq, Egypt, Jordan, Turkey, Libya, non whatsoever. They should go back to their home countries, and get the hell out of Israel. If it was me, I would nuke Gaza, think of all the peace there would be then.

@bbproductionsLA Second Jews have inhabited Israel for over 3,000 years. Everytime they were expelled they came back. Until finally they received back their land after 2,000 years. The reason for the so called Palestinian race is due to the fact that Arab countries use them as pawns in their game. No Arab army can ever defeat Israel, so they choose the next best thing public sympathy to try destroying Israel. They do this by media, Arab propaganda, brain washing their children to kill.

@bbproductionsLA What about the Jewish refugees from Arab nations? It seems that these refugees are the ones who are truly forgotten. Plus the true occupiers of Palestine are the Arabs themselves. Never once has there been a Palestinian race, not once. The word Palestine came from King Herodeous who was ruler over the Jews. The so called Palestinian race was made up by a so called Palestinian named Yasser Arafat in 1964. This man who called himself a Palestinian was truly an Egyptian!

It is all very sad. I must remember however that the Jews were exiles for hundreds of years. Conquered and deported from their land on several occasions. I also know that all of the discussion and rude exchanges on these web sites will never solve anything.

The holocaust never took place it is just a zionist lie just as 9/11 was!

[razzer321]

Prominent Arab journalist Daoud Al-Shiryan has recently written columns harshly criticizing the Arab world for its mistreatment of Palestinian refugees. Arab refusal to integrate the refugees into society is no different than objecting to peace,
