While whats going on in Gaza is very tragic, what many people don't acknowledge is the Palestinian Refugee problem. In 1948, When the State of Israel was formed, millions of Palestinians were forced to leave their homeland in order to stay alive. 60 years, later those people are still refugees, some deprived of the simplest human rights, living in refugee camps in very awful situations. after 6 decades of promises, the Palestinian refugees are split between those who live by a dream of returning home, and those who have lost hope in humanity, and have no sense of belonging anywhere, those who live under the dilemma of giving up on their dreams and leading healthier lives under different citizen ships, or those who choose to keep dreaming... this is a video showing the status of Palestinian refugees in Lebanon....

Great blog Adnan. The unreporting of the plight of Palestinians in the mainstream media is an embarassment
