 In a Dec.7, 2009 article, the Daily Telegraph looks at the plight of Palestinian refugees living in squalid conditions in Lebanon and perhaps hits the nail on the head: "How could it be possible that for the past 61 years Palestinians are trapped in these camps," complained Mahmoud al-Jomaa, who chairs an organisation that provides health programmes for children. What hurts the most for the refugees is the feeling that they have been forgotten by the world - and particularly by other Arabs. "Seven million Jews worry about the fate of Gilad Shalit, while 300 million Arabs couldn't care less what happens to hundreds of thousands of Palestinians," said Walid Taha, who lives in the Shatila camp in Beirut. In fact, the bulk of UNRWA's funding comes from western donors with only a small proportion from the Arab states: According to an Oct. 2009 feature in The Independent: UNRWA's grant of refugee status to the children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren of the original Palestinian refugees according to the principle of patrilineal descent, with no limit on the generations that can obtain refugee status, has made it easy for host countries to flout their obligations under international law.
According to Article 34 of the UN Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees, "The Contracting States shall as far as possible facilitate the assimilation and naturalisation of refugees," and must "make every effort to expedite naturalisation proceedings" – the opposite of what happened to the Palestinians in every Arab country in which they settled, save Jordan. Indeed, the article states: In 2001, Palestinians in Lebanon were stripped of the right to own property, or to pass on the property that they already owned to their children – and banned from working as doctors, lawyers, pharmacists or in 20 other professions.
Even the Palestinian refugee community in Jordan, historically the most welcoming Arab state, has reason to feel insecure in the face of official threats to revoke their citizenship. The systematic refusal of Arab governments to grant basic human rights to Palestinians who are born and die in their countries – combined with periodic mass expulsions of entire Palestinian communities – recalls the treatment of Jews in medieval Europe. In addition, the Palestinian Authority has not been at the forefront in helping relocate the residents of refugee camps into permanent housing facilities. Arabs have to share responsibility for the refugee issues since they rejected the 1947 partition plan and and launched a war of destruction. Had they, like Israel, accepted the partition, there would have been no war and no refugees. We congratulate the Daily Telegraph and Independent for going beyond the standard reporting on Palestinian refugees. Perhaps it is time for Karen AbuZayd to take a more sophisticated examination (including some self-examination) regarding the Palestinian refugee problem. Simply blaming Israel and "occupation" is simplistic and does little to resolve the issue. More at HonestReporting
 The Knesset has passed an initial reading of a proposal, stipulating that negotiations on Arab refugees must include demands for compensation of Jewish refugees from Arab countries. Hundreds of thousands of Jews from Arab countries made Aliyah [immigration] to Israel in its early years, after being banished and forced to leave behind property and asset worth billions of dollars.
A legislative proposal on the issue by Knesset Member Nissim Zev (Shas) passed its preliminary Knesset reading on Sunday.
The bill stipulates that in any negotiations with the Palestinian Authority on the rights of Arabs who left Israel in 1948, the government of Israel would be required to present its own demands for reparations for the Jews of Arab countries. 
MK Zev says his proposal is anchored in both a United Nations resolution and the U.S. Congress.
“The Jews from Arab countries are defined as refugees by the United Nations,” he emphasized.
“It’s not something we made up, but rather a U.N. definition. In addition, the American Congress itself resolved, in 2008, that the rights of these Jewish refugees must be recognized in the course of the negotiations.” The resolution, passed by the House of Representatives in April 2008, recognized Jewish refugees from Arab countries who were forced to flee their homes in the aftermath of the creation of the State of Israel.
It requires U.S. officials involved in any Middle East peace negotiations that deal with the Arab refugees to "also include a similarly explicit reference to the resolution of the issue of Jewish refugees from Arab countries."
One Congressional co-sponsor said at the time that “it’s not just the Arabs and Palestinians in the Middle East, but also Jewish people who themselves were dispossessed of their possessions and their homes, and were victims of terrorist acts.” Another said there were more Jewish refugees than Palestinian refugees, and “their forced exile from Arab lands must not be omitted from public discussion on the peace process."

 Britain has forcibly sent 39 Iraqi asylum seekers back to Baghdad, a refugee group has said. The International Federation of Iraqi Refugees (Ifir) has raised concern over the welfare of the asylum seekers once they arrive in Iraq, which has seen a continuation of deadly suicide bombings in recent months. The Ifir said 39 people had been deported on a specially chartered Air Italy flight that left London's Stansted airport early on Thursday. The group said people on the flight were told it was going to Baghdad, making it the first deportation flight into south or central Iraq from the UK. Previously, Iraqi deportees from Britain have been flown into the Kurdish region of northern Iraq, which has not seen the level of violence experienced in other parts of the country. Speaking to Al Jazeera from London, Richard Whittel, from the Coalition to Stop Deportations to Iraq, said: "People were woken up at the dead of night last night and put on coaches from detention centres and then taken to Stansted airport. "We think they've been put on a plane operated by Air Italy and thought to have been taken to Baghdad. "The Home Office [UK interior ministry] argument would be that Iraq is now safe to send people back to, people aren't at risk, and people's asylum applications have failed. "We're used to the macabre immigration policies of the UK government, and indeed other European governments, but this is an especially malicious step sending people to Baghdad."
A spokesperson for the UK border agency, which is alleged to have issued letters to the refugees about deportation, said on Wednesday they could not comment on the "timing or detail of removal operations". But it added: "Anyone who is in the UK illegally is expected to leave and the UK Border Agency will not hesitate to enforce their removal where necessary. Hussein, one of the Iraqis said to be facing deportation, told the Ifir he could be killed if he returned to his homeland. "I'm from Baghdad. I'm a Sunni - I have a big problem with a Shia party. They've used their influence to imprison my brother and they're looking for me. "If I'm deported I know 100 per cent I'm going to be killed." According to Britain's interior ministry, 632 people were deported to northern Iraq between 2005 and 2008. Source: Al Jazeera (English)
 By Ryan MauroAt the end of my three-week stay in Israel, made possible by the generous folks at Eagles’ Wings Ministries’ Israel Experience program, I realized that Israel is a model of liberalism, a country that embodies progressive values and every cause American liberals champion. The moment when this point hit me was when I was on Ben Yehuda Street in Jerusalem, taking a break from enjoying the night life on a bench, when a loud group with flags marched past me and handed me a flier.
The group, called the Coalition of Pink Communities, was rallying in support of equal rights for those with alternative lifestyles, with the flier specifically mentioning “lesbians, homosexuals, transgenders, bisexuals, queer, intersex.” The fact that this even occurred, in the holy city of Jerusalem no less, is proof that such equal rights have been granted. The demonstrators were not harassed, attacked, or even approached in any way, despite the presence of Orthodox Jewish onlookers. This stands in sharp contrast to anywhere in the Palestinian territories or Arab world, where such actions would be met with brutality of the highest order. Israel, which stands alone as the country most derided by human rights advocates daring to call themselves liberals, has upheld freedom of speech and shown a tolerance of homosexual lifestyles in a way deserving of far-reaching liberal praise, allowing openly gay centers to operate and known homosexual soldiers to serve. To be fair, I must mention the murder of two homosexuals in Tel Aviv while I was in the country, but the genuine outcry over the incident and extensive media coverage show that this was a rare incident, worthy of conversation and attention, rather than an act of normalcy. This scenario alone should dispel the notion that Israel’s status as a Jewish state makes it theocratic, but this democratic country is still frequently referred to as “apartheid” on college campuses, an insult that denigrates the true victims of apartheid, both in the past in South Africa and those suffering from true oppression in the Arab world. Rarely is the gender apartheid in major parts of the Islamic world or the oppression of gays, dissenting political voices, non-Muslims (especially Jews), and Muslim minorities in such areas a cause for a fuss. The apartheid comparison is so wrong on so many levels that using it should disqualify the users from being termed “academics” or “experts.” Few seem to know that twenty percent of Israeli citizens are Arabs, given the same rights as their fellow Jewish countrymen. They are provided with social services, serve in the military, and even are elected to the Knesset. The security “wall,” 97% of which is chain-link fence, is often touted as proof of Israel’s racism, but it is not designed to separate Jewish and Palestinian communities. Read more here ...

 Daoud Al-Shiryan, Al-Hayat columnist and deputy secretary-general of Al-Arabiya TV, recently published several articles criticizing how the Palestinian refugees have been treated by the Arab countries in which they live. He called on these countries to integrate the refugees into their societies and to resettle them before they are forced to do so by the international community. Objecting to Refugee Resettlement Is Objecting to Peace In the first of his articles, published July 15, 2009, Al-Shiryan wrote: "The issue of [refugee] resettlement has begun to preoccupy the Arab countries, which are keeping the Palestinians in depressing prison camps known as Palestinian refugee camps.
Although so far no one in the Arab world has called for their resettlement, the refugee problem has now [gained prominence] in Syria, Lebanon, and Jordan, both on the political arena and in the media. It has [even] become an issue in forming the next Lebanese government. This means that, in its next stage, the peace process is expected to encounter obstacles [on the part of] the Arabs. "Objecting to [refugee] resettlement is no different than objecting to peace.
It is nothing but an unrealistic slogan. The Arabs have agreed to peace, although they realize that there cannot be peace without [refugee] resettlement. But they disregard this fact, viewing the refugee issue as a point of controversy, when it is [actually] a central and key issue in the peace process. The fear [of being accused of renouncing the nationalist] slogans [calling for] struggle, resistance, and casting Israel into the sea - slogans which emerged at the outset of the peace process with Israel - and the link that has been established between the issue [of resettlement] and ethnic and political problems in some [Arab] countries - have [all] become an obstacle to a realistic and honest approach to the issue. "Arabs who object to the [refugee] resettlement plan contend that they are motivated by their zealous devotion to the Right of Return.
But they have not lifted a finger to keep this right alive in the consciousness of the Palestinian 'detainees' in the camps of abasement.
As a result, this spurious devotion has evoked the opposite reaction: a Palestinian [refugee] now hopes to emigrate to America, Europe, Canada, or Australia in order to escape the hell of the Palestinian refugee camps, which have played a part in killing his will to live.

 By Joseph Puder In this difficult economic climate, as American citizens are seeking ways to cut costs, the U.S. government must consider ways to eliminate waste. The United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) is not only a wasteful expenditure but, unbeknownst to most U.S. taxpayers, this U.S.-funded agency serves as an incubator for Arab-Palestinian terrorists. In the 60 years of its existence, UNRWA has done little to rehabilitate and settle the Palestinian-Arab refugees and much to foster incitement, hate, and terror against Israel. The dominant position held by the 57 members of Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) in the United Nations has enabled the Palestinian-Arabs “refugees” to receive special treatment that no other group of refugees was ever granted. Other refugees from throughout the world, numbering in the millions, have been resettled and others are currently served by the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) with that intention. However, the UNRWA was specifically designated to deal with the Palestinian Arab issue and has, in the intervening years served to accommodate the political designs of the Arab League and unelected Palestinian leaders.

 Amanda Hodge, South Asia correspondent | May 07PAKISTAN is facing the world's largest internal displacement of people amid renewed fighting between the Taliban and government forces, the President has warned.Asif Ali Zardari called for immediate aid yesterday after more than a million people were forced to leave their homes, with another 500,000 expected to stream out of conflict zones within days. As he prepared to hold emergency talks with US President Barack Obama and Afghan counterpart Hamid Karzai in Washington, Mr Zardari said a failure to assist refugees would turn the North West Frontier Province into a "breeding ground for terrorism". More than 40,000 people have poured out of the Swat Valley in the past three days after Taliban militants signalled an end to a peace deal by ambushing troops and seizing government offices in the town of Mingora. A curfew on the district was briefly lifted to allow residents to evacuate but fighting intensified yesterday after the Government sent in more troops backed by helicopter gunships. Up to 35 civilians and 15 militants were reportedly killed in clashes yesterday. Humanitarian agencies were straining to accommodate the thousands of refugees pouring into towns and refugee camps across the NWFP. Swat chief administrator Khushhal Khan said he expected up to 500,000 people, already brutalised by the Taliban's 18-month campaign for control of the area, to attempt to flee the district in coming days. "I don't want my unborn baby to have even the slightest idea what suicide attacks and bomb blasts are. That's why I'm leaving Mingora with my husband," said a sobbing, pregnant Bakht Zehra. "For God's sake, tell me where I can bring up my child where there are no suicide attacks." The Pakistan Government struck a peace deal with the Taliban in February, agreeing to impose a harsh form of sharia law on Swat and surrounding districts in exchange for an end to the violence in the region. A bill formalising the agreement was passed through parliament a fortnight ago. But the Taliban has refused to lay down its arms, instead expanding its reach from the Swat stronghold into other regions across the NWFP, including Lower Dir and Buner, just 100km from the capital, Islamabad. The UN High Commission for Refugees spokeswoman Massoumeh Farman-Farmaian said three new camps would be established in Mardan and Swabi this week to accommodate the estimated 100,000 people forced to leave Lower Dir and Buner. But many of the existing camps and host communities were already exhausted and the international community had been slow to respond to UN pleas for assistance. "We keep wondering why people don't recognise this desperate need," Ms Farman-Farmaian told The Australian. Anger in the refugee camps was heightening, creating fertile ground for militant recruitment, she added. "(We have to) give these people the assistance they need and deserve and act as a buffer because tomorrow if they don't get a chance and some other group, maybe militants or Taliban, offers them funds, then they are going to take them." In Kacha Garhi camp in NWFP's capital, Peshawar, more than 16,000 people live in makeshift tents with limited food and water, and no electricity. Most were displaced by an aerial bombing campaign by the Pakistani army launched last August to flush out Taliban forces. Many blame the Government and militants as architects of their misery.

 Residents said terrified people, mostly women and children, were continuing to flee the area with their belongings after Pakistan troops and helicopter gunships launched Operation Black Thunder to drive out the Taliban. One local charity said yesterday it had registered 2241 displaced families. "Up to 30,000 people have left Maidan in Lower Dir district over the past few days. "We are making arrangements for them in Peshawar, Nowshera and Timargarah districts," minister Mian Iftikhar Hussain said. Mr Hussain said the Government remained "determined to fully implement the (operation) but some outsiders who do not want peace have infiltrated in Buner and Dir districts to sabotage the accord". Pakistan troops and helicopter gunships launched the offensive in Lower Dir, near the Taliban-held Swat valley, on Sunday, killing about 50 insurgents, officials said. The military said eight paramilitary soldiers had been killed. Heavy artillery shelling by the paramilitary Frontier Corps troops continued yesterday, a senior military officer said. "We destroyed several militants' hideouts in heavy artillery shelling of suspected bases in the area," the officer said. Following the military push into Dir, a district on the Afghanistan border, militants described their peace pact with the Government as "worthless". Pakistan agreed in February to impose Islamic law in the Taliban-held Swat valley and surrounding districts of the Malakand Division if militants ended a rebellion that included beheading opponents and burning schools for girls. However, the concession appeared to embolden the Taliban, which staged a foray last week into neighbouring Buner district, just 100km from the capital, Islamabad, reportedly patrolling other areas in the region as well. Losing Lower or Upper Dir would be a blow not only for Pakistan but for US efforts to shore up the faltering war effort against the Taliban in Afghanistan. US officials worry the pact could turn Swat into another haven for militants and encourage extremists to call for Islamic law in other areas of the country. Western allies have expressed frustration that Pakistan is focusing on arch-rival India, distracting the Government from dealing with extremist sanctuaries on the Afghan border. Afghan police clashed with Taliban fighters outside the capital, Kabul, leaving a dozen militants and an officer dead, while bomb blasts killed five more policemen, the Government said yesterday. The fresh violence was linked to the insurgency led by the Taliban, who are battling to wrest back power after being ousted from government by the 2001 US-led invasion. The militants were killed on Monday in a sweep to clear Taliban from Musayi district about 15km south of Kabul, said Interior Ministry spokesman Zemarai Bashary. "The head of the district criminal investigation department was wounded and later died in hospital. "Twelve enemies were also killed," he said. Separately, a rocket landed inside an international military base on the outskirts of Kabul early yesterday, wounding three French soldiers, a French military spokesman said. Meanwhile, US officials yesterday denied claims from Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari that Osama bin Laden was dead. The officials said yesterday that the planner of the 2001 attacks on New York and Washington was most likely hiding in the mountains along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border. "We continue to believe that bin Laden is alive," one US official said. Source: The Australian
PAKISTAN civilians began pouring out of the North West Frontier Province yesterday, driven out by fierce fighting between Taliban extremists and military forces sent in to stem the insurgents' march on the rest of the country. Frontier corps troops and helicopter gunships engaged several hundred militants in the Lower Dir Province, west of the Swat Valley and abutting the Afghanistan border. The clashes, which began on Sunday after Taliban fighters blocked the path of an army convoy trying to reach the Swat Valley, has brought to the brink of collapse an uneasy peace deal between the two sides. Taliban spokesman Muslim Khan yesterday said the February peace deal - in which the Government agreed to impose sharia law on the NWFP's Malakand region in exchange for the militants' laying down their arms - was now "worthless" as a result of the military action. The militants have suspended peace talks with the Government over Swat, a former tourist region within the NWFP now under their control, until the army halts its operation. They have also threatened to stage attacks across the Malakand - a group of six districts and home to three million people - if peace is not restored. Troops were finally sent into the NWFP late on Thursday after hundreds of Taliban militants poured out of Swat and seized control of towns and villages less than 100km from the capital, Islamabad. Taliban fighters quickly established control of several administrative centres within the Buner district, forcing women off the streets, issuing warnings to barbers and music shops and recruiting locals to their cause. Many eventually retreated on Friday following negotiations with local authorities and government warnings of military action, although reports from the region yesterday suggested the Taliban were still in control of Buner and patrolling the streets. However, militants had more quietly also seized control of Lower Dir in recent weeks, creating a new corridor for extremists fighting US-led coalition forces in neighbouring Afghanistan. One local official said the military moved into the region following reports that the Taliban had begun kidnapping prominent local residents for ransom. On Saturday, 12 local children were killed after playing with a bomb they mistook for a football. The latest offensive was ordered under pressure from the US, which has issued increasingly strident statements in recent days demanding action from Pakistan's leaders to halt the advance of the Taliban into the interior of the nuclear-armed nation. US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton accused the Pakistani Government last week of "abdicating to the Taliban" and at the weekend expressed fears the Taliban could eventually hold the keys to Pakistan's nuclear weapons.

HUNDREDS of people were killed in the central Nigerian city of Jos when Christians and Muslims clashed over the result of a local election.
"Hundreds of people have been killed in the last two days since the riots started. Remains of burnt bodies litter some parts of the town; it is so terrible,'' Christian clergyman Yakumu Pam said.
Local Radio Plateau said the governor of Plateau State, Jonah Jang, had placed four districts of the city under a curfew and had ordered police to fire on anyone who broke it following the clashes on Friday.
Aminu Manu said incidents of violence were still being reported in the city today.
"So far over 10,000 people have been displaced from their homes and are now seeking refuge in churches, mosques and army and police barracks," a Nigerian Red Cross official in Jos said.
"I can't give any figures but there are dead bodies on the streets that are yet to be evacuated. We are afraid of an outbreak of an epidemic if they are allowed to decompose," he said. Source: The Australian from Agence France-Presse
 Bruce Loudon, South Asia correspondent | August 18, 2008
ISLAMABAD: A human tide of more than 300,000 civilians has fled the al-Qa'ida badlands, amid indications that the fighting there has reached unprecedented levels, with the Pakistani army using massive firepower to attack jihadi militant strongholds.
Helicopter gunships, fixed-wing strike aircraft, tanks and heavy artillery have been used in the onslaught that followed the visit last month by Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani to Washington, where he was berated for Pakistan's failure to wipe out the militants.
The offensive runs counter to perceptions that Pakistan's new civilian Government is "soft" on Islamic extremism.
This will reassure Washington, whose ally in the war in terror for the past nine years, President Pervez Musharraf, was given by the Coalition Government until midnight last night (4am today AEST) to resign or face impeachment proceedings beginning tonight in the National Assembly.
Pakistani television showed thousands of civilians caught in the crossfire streaming out of the Bajaur, Mohmand and Kurrum agencies during the fighting estimated to have killed more than 500 militants. Tens of thousands of people are camping on the perimeter of Peshawar, the capital of the North West Frontier Province, and some have reached Rawalpindi, the garrison city adjoining Islamabad.
New security tsar Rehman Malik, the architect of the get-tough policy against the militants who have over-run the Federally Administered Tribal Areas, said at least 220,000 civilians had been displaced. But welfare agencies said the figure was probably well in excess of 300,000.
An NWFP government official appealing for federal assistance said yesterday: "There are hundreds of thousands of people waiting for help and we don't have the wherewithal to deal with the situation."
In a speech to the National Assembly on Saturday, Mr Gilani declared the Government was determined to re-establish control in the tribal areas bordering Afghanistan. "We will establish the writ of the Government at all costs (as) a parallel government cannot be tolerated," he said.
The offensive, launched without fanfare to avoid conveying the notion it was done at the insistence of Washington, is targeting primarily Bajaur, slated as the most likely hiding place of Osama bin Laden. Fierce fighting is also under way in areas of the NWFP where many of Pakistan's nuclear weapons are believed to be based.
Dr Malik, who accompanied Mr Gilani to Washington, estimated yesterday that a force of more than 3000 well-armed and highly trained al-Qa'ida militants were operating in Bajaur.
"We will wipe them out," Dr Malik said. "We will not surrender before them."
Fighting in the NWFP's strategic Swat Valley, 250km north of Islamabad, is at unprecedented levels.
Resurgent militant extremists have in the past 10 days reduced 28 girls' schools to rubble as they work to destroy an education system that was once the pride of Pakistan.
A total of 87 girls' schools have been destroyed and another 62 closed by frightened teachers.
The chief of Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan in the Swat Valley, Maulana Fazlullah, calling female education "a source of obscenity" ordered girls to go home and wear the burka.
The Government has indefinitely closed all its offices in the Swat Valley.
Analysts said the fighting in Bajaur, Mohmand and Kurram suggested that for the first time in many months the army was on the offensive against militants.
It was unclear whether the offensive represented the tougher stance on militants demanded by Washington.
Relations between Washington and the new administration in Islamabad had been tense, particularly over the case of accused terrorist Aafia Siddiqui.
The Pakistani neuroscientist appeared in a New York court this month after disappearing with her three children in Karachi five years ago. US officials say Ms Siddiqui, 36, is a significant al-Qa'ida figure. Human rights workers argue she was abducted in a joint Pakistani-US operation under the Musharraf regime.
The Pakistani parliament's foreign affairs committee vowed on Saturday to visit Ms Siddiqui in her New York cell, as well as Pakistanis held at Guantanamo Bay.
Talks between Mr Musharraf's aides and the coalition Government, which set today's deadline, aimed at securing him indemnity from prosecution have been hampered by the opposition of Nawaz Sharif, the prime minister deposed by Mr Musharraf in a coup. Saudi Arabia, the US and UK have sent envoys to resolve the crisis. Source: The Australian
by Itamar Marcus and Barbara Crook The Arabs who became refugees in 1948 were not expelled by Israel but left on their own to facilitate the destruction of Israel, according to a senior Palestinian journalist writing in a Palestinian daily. This plan to leave Israel was initiated by the Arab states fighting Israel, who promised the people they would be able to return to their homes in a few days once Israel was defeated. The article in Al-Ayyam concludes that these Arab states are responsible for the Arab refugee problem. Read more ...Source: Palestinian Media Watch H/T: Jihad Watch
