How should Lebanon address its “Palestinian issue” and what can the international community do to help?
This is not just a ‘Lebanon visitation’ or a ‘Palestinian issue’. It entails an evolutionary change in mindset encompassing Israel, the Palestinian people, the Arab nations, Muslims and the international community. If a neutral observer were to look at the ‘Palestinian issue’ from a ‘fresh’ perspective, he would make the following inferences: After the Holocaust, 70,000 Jews were smuggled to settle ‘illegally’ in Israel. These refugees had suffered abhorrent persecutions at the hands of Hitler and the Nazis, and they were being rejected outright by the rest of the world. No country was willing to take them in.
