Refugee status of Palestinians

Daniel, your article on the situation of the Palestinian refugee is knowledge that needs to get to the general public. My father came to this country as a refugee in 1948 -- a Moroccan Jew thrown out of and forced to leave without property, money -- and only what he could carry. I guarantee you that I am not a Moroccan refugee waiting to go back to my father's house.

I agree the Palestinian people need to stop being victims and to stop being led by people who benefit from them staying as refugees. They are taught the anger and the hatred and till this stops all of us suffer.
