Why do Palestinians Live in Refugee Camps ??

Question

The have been living in these since the 40s.

Answer 1

They are refugees, therefore stateless. Israel will not accept them to go back to their homes or land as it has all been confiscated (stolen). Cheers!

Answer 2

Because the countries they willingly moved to refuse to grant them citizenship.Most arabs weren't "displaced" arab governments told them to leave because they intended to destroy the fledgling nation of Israel,the jews actually begged them to stay same thing happened in 67 after the arabs lost both wars they realized they cant beat the jews militarily so they invented the Palestinians.

Answer 3

As I'm sure you know they are displaced persons camps,very similar to the post-WWII camps for Europeans of jewish background. Those people were displaced by German n***s; these people have been displaced by jewish n***s. The world reacts with indifference because of racism. More than five million Palestinians now live in various Arabs. Hopefully the diaspora will end and their homeland will be regained,ideally without bloodshed.

Answer 4

Well.

Jews offer a homeland to Jewish refugee's.

But not 1 arab state has offered to resettle Palestinian refugee's.

Even the ones who are rich from oil.

Answer 5

Palestinians refuse to help themselves out of their misery, and their arab brethren prefer to keep them a festering sore in their attempts to eradicate Israel.

Answer 6

They have nowhere to go. Displaced people usually don't.  

Answer 7

Palestinians were offered half of the Palestinian Mandate in 1948 but refused it; Arabs controlled the West Bank and Gaza from 1948 to 1967, yet no Palestinian political entity arose in either place, not even provisionally.  Now Palestinians completely control Gaza, but rather than building a state there, they claim that they are under Israeli occupation.

The common explanation is that the Palestinians want a state encompassing the entire former Palestinian Mandate.  But a more likely explanation is that the Palestinian national movement is not and has never been a national movement in the ordinary sense of the term.  It was for a long time the vanguard of the Arab nationalist movement and is today the front line of aggressive Islamism.  The establishment of a state is not the goal.  The elimination of a state is not the goal.  The elimination of a foreign, non-Arab, non-Muslim entity is the goal.

Are Palestinians the first refugee population in history? Hardly. But they are surely the first refugees who, as a group, have categorically RESISTED RESETTLEMENT, instead living for decades as wards of the international community.   Indeed, in Gaza today, years after Israel renounced any territorial claims, there continue to be refugee camps. Why? Why -- other than to serve as incubators for hatred that produce recruits bent on martyrdom and mayhem -- are there Palestinian refugee camps in Palestinian territory?

The trust deficit is exacerbated by the fact that after Israel quit the Gaza Strip in 2005, Palestinians, instead of building Singapore there, built Somalia and focused not on how to make microchips, but on how to make rockets to hit Israel.  Thomas Friedman

The difference between Israel and the terrorists is clear: Israelis endanger themselves to protect their civilians.  Terrorists endanger their own civilians to protect themselves.  Where alone in the Middle East is there an Arab middle class of sorts? Where do Arabs have good schools? And where is there adequate medical care?  -- Ask the over one million Palestinians who live in a democratic Israel.

If a visitor from a faraway galaxy were to land at an American or Canadian university and peruse some of the petitions that were circulating around the campus, he would probably come away with the conclusion that the Earth is a peaceful and fair planet with only one villainous nation determined to destroy the peace and to violate human rights. That nation would not be Iraq, Libya, Serbia, Russia, or Iran ... It would be Israel.  Alan Dershowitz, Professor of Law, Harvard Law School

Answer 8

Unlike Israel who accepts Jews from around the world, the Arab states (especially the oil-rich ones, e.g., Saudi Arabia and Kuwait) are not willing to settle the Palestinians in their own countries (as permanent residents, if not citizens). Sadly, the Palestinians are used as political pawns to fan anti-Israel sentiment. So much with Arab-Muslim 'brotherhood'.

Answer 9

There are many to be blamed: Yasser Arafat, who lined his pockets with cash and subsidized murder while playing the victim of oppression. An Arab world that refused to absorb the Palestinian population, preferring to use it as a political pawn against Israel. The United Nations, which suckled the Palestinian Arab population into dependency at the international teat. Israel, for emboldening the Palestinian Arabs by conceding to them.

But in the end, the blame must lie with the Palestinian Arabs themselves. They have accepted their role with relish.  

Answer 10

They need a reason to kill the Jews.

Jordanstine is their country, ask them why they are still in refugee camps.

Where did all the billions of US dollars go to if not to buy arms?

Was one dollar ever spent on anything that would help build a normal society?

Israel and Islamic countries exchanged refugees, over half of Israel's Jewish population are Middle eastern Jews, Israel helped them and gave them a life, the pals in Gaza and West Bank have 22 countries who are supposed to be their brothers yet no one has done anything to help them, all they do is blame Israel who was willing to give them a piece of land for peace, they rejected over and over again, ever ask yourself why?

What reason would they have to hate Jews if they are no longer poor and under "occupation"?

Why is it that when Israel was going to back out of Gaza in 2005, the same day soldiers forced the Jews out of their homes we had rockets flying on us from the Gaza strip?

Why don't they ever mention the fact that we are still there because they refuse to drop their weapons despite our offers and "mutual" agreements?
