That is the title of yet another story blasting Arab countries for mistreating their fellow Arabs—Palestinians. Our earlier post on the same topic is here.
Author Sameh Habeeb, an activist and journalist, writing in the Palestine Telegraph is not unexpectedly critical of Israel, but the gist of his report is that Palestinian refugees are treated like c*** in Muslim countries!
Habeeb begins:
Palestinian communities around the world, especially in the Arab states, have suffered forced exile or onward migration time and time again.
Most recently, Palestinian refugees living in Syria have had to flee the fighting in that country, and have fled to many parts of the world including neighbouring Arab countries like Jordan and Lebanon. In Jordan, Palestinian refugees are not given many of their rights as refugees and this even if they are able to get into the country. Many are denied entry. In some cases whole families are separated across the border because they are Palestinian refugees with a Syrian travel document.
Habeeb then goes on to list all the Muslim countries which mistreat Palestinians.
So much for that Muslim charity the UNHCR was bragging about here in 2009—1400-year-old Islamic tradition of “welcoming” the persecuted—what a joke! And, it isn’t just Palestinians, rich Arab countries like Saudi Arabia take NO refugees.
