Count Palestinian Refugees...Its about Time.
Reader comment on item: Count Palestine Refugees?
Submitted by Anne (United States), Jun 5, 2012 at 15:29
Hats off to Senator Mark Kirk who has the fortitude to address this ever growing problem with so called Palestinian refugees. Also thanks to Dr. Pipes, and Steven Rosen, for letting us know that only about 1% are truly refugees who's normal place of residence was Palestine on said dates, and lost their homes. In my opinion UNRWA is not a credible organization because they haven't been giving the true facts. Forget about the Obama administration doing anything significant here to help Israel.. They have ignored many thorns in Israel's side + the taxpayers are very unhappy about funds going to fake refugees, What a travesty!
