Abbas: No PA passports for Palestine refugees

[shira]

Beirut – Ma’an – Palestinian refugees in Lebanon will not be offered Palestinian Authority passports, President Mahmoud Abbas said on Monday following his meeting with Lebanese President Michel Suleiman at the Republican Palace.

Abbas’ remark quashed recent rumors concerning the issuing of PA passports to Palestinian refugees in Lebanon, adding that the refugees’ presence in the country is temporary, particularly as Lebanon’s membership in the UN Security Council next year will help the Palestinian cause.

The security arrangements in refugee camps should be arranged in coordination with the Lebanese government, Abbas said, stressing that they were built on sovereign Lebanese land.

Lebanese President Suleiman had informed Abbas of a recent Lebanese cabinet statement which included the question of Palestinian refugees, as Abbas expressed his confidence in the Lebanese approach to Palestinian refugees.

1. in other words, says Abbas...

"Hang in there another 60 years guys, you're only temporary refugees and it's for your own good...and besides, Hezbollah will soon represent Lebanon on the UN Security Council and that will be good for the cause."

2. So are you 'for' or 'against' the Right of Return?

I would presume against, and here the quisling puppet Abbas is serving your agenda in spades........ yet still not good enough? Damn it puppet, dance faster! harder! Although to be fair, it's hard to tell what his position on the matter really is, soon he will be condemning this move and pushing whatever turn his handlers suggest next.

3. i'm betting you're 'for' using Palestinians as pawns for many more years and thus 'for' RoR

I'm 'for' a limited RoR when a settlement is reached.

Do you support giving all Palestinians the choice right now to become full naturalized citizens of any Arab country they desire? Like Lebanon?
