Could they not find sanctuary in friendly countries like Jordan and Egypt ? You can understand Israel being a bit miffed with them, but why do those two countries keep their doors firmly closed to them. Why are the Pallys the Billy No Mates of the region ?

"About 70 percent of Jordan’s population is of Palestinian origin, and they are generally well-integrated into Jordanian society. Jordanians and Palestinians have been living alongside each other since the 1948 Arab-Israeli war and Palestinian Nakba, and even long before that."

Last time I was in Amman there were around 3 million Palestinians living in Jordan because the Israelis "displaced" them.

Jordan & Egypt are at saturation point, I fear for the Palestinians trapped inside the West Bank & Gaza, they really are ducks in a barrel. The Jews are killing them off at a rapid rate and all the West does is shrug its shoulders.

There's so much **** happening around the world thatmost countries (rightly) are thinking let's sort out our own internal problems and stand back from issues in other countries ( unless we can sell arms to them).

Bollox, have a read up on Arafat, the PLO and Black September if you want to know why Jordan keeps the Pallys out, genocide or no genocide.

I have visited Jordan twice and when you actually see what's going on with your own eyes it's quite chilling really.

I watched a SKY journalist reporting from Gaza yesterday, he was clearly overwhelmed at the scale of destruction and really was fighting back the tears.

I don't think for one moment Netanyahu is going to take his foot off the necks of the Palestinians now. No international condemnation, the Yanks applauding him with a standing ovation on Capital Hill, the Palestinians are pfhucked - well and truly.
