Lebanon's parliament has, after long delay, passed a law which allows Palestinian refugees to work legally.
There are an estimated 400,000 Palestinians living in Lebanon and, given its delicate sectarian balance, their status is a sensitive issue.
Many are still living in camps where conditions are dire.
... the advances remain well short of the rights enjoyed by Palestinian refugees in Syria, Jordan and elsewhere in the region.
Palestinians in Lebanon will still be unable to work in the public sector or in professions such as medicine, law or engineering, where membership of Lebanese syndicates is compulsory.
They will also continue to be denied access to Lebanese state medical or educational facilities.
Those services are provided to the refugees by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (Unrwa), which is currently suffering from a severe financing deficit.
... Some of the youngsters who throng the camps are fourth-generation offspring whose great-grandparents fled what is now northern Israel in 1948.
THESE 60 YEAR OLD CAMPS ARE WORSE THAN ANYTHING IN GAZA OR THE WEST BANK.
THESE ARABS WERE TREATED WORSE BY THEIR FELLOW ARABS THAN BY ISRAEL.
THEY WERE CAPTIVES AND PAWNS OF THE JIHADISTS AND THE LEFT.
THAT'S WHY YOU NEVER HEARD THE ARABS OR THE LEFT COMPLAIN ABOUT THEM.
THEY NEVER CALLED IT "APARTHEID" OR DEMANDED DIVESTITURE OF LEBANESE HOLDINGS OR BOYCOTTS OF LEBANESE PRODUCTS.
THEY ONLY COMPLAIN ABOUT HOW ISRAEL TREAT ARABS.
WHY?
SIMPLE: IT'S ARAB ANTISEMITISM, AND THE HOME AWAY FROM HOME FOR ANTISEMITISM IS THE LEFT.
THE UN AND THE SO-CALLED "INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY" WHICH HAS NON-STOP HARASSED ISRAEL FOR 760 YEARS IS NOTHING MORE THAN A BUNCH OF HYPOCRITICAL POSTMODERN ANTI-AMERICAN ANTISEMITIC LEFTISTS.
THE FACT THAT THEY IGNORED THE CAMPS IN JERUSALEM - NAY RAN THEM - IS ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THESE AMORAL SC*MB*GS.
I always thought that those who call themselves Palestinians were once Jordanians before Jordan lost that territory to Israel in the 1967 war. At any rate this did not make any of the MSM news and will not.
