Palestinian Refugees Arrive In Sudan

Posted on March 1, 2008
Filed Under Sudan, Palestine |

Like I said before, I welcome them heartily with wide open arms and I have no problem their arrival. If only we gave our own refugees and people the same damn treatment.

Once again, the plight of the Palestinian is being used by our regimes for nothing else but self-beneficial propaganda.

AK has the news and I agree with every word he says. This is insulting!

UPDATE: Ops, it looks like they haven’t arrived yet but their arrival is expected.

    They are not there yet:

    “The visiting Palestinian official, Azzam Al Ahmad, denied that the Palestinian refugees were reluctant to come to the Sudan saying on the contrary they were in constant contact with the Palestinian embassy in Khartoum to see when they would be transported to the area.”

    Funny though that Sudan might be the first country in the arabic world (so much it is arabic that is) who would consider them equal to their own citizens (well, at least in words)…

    I disagree, Saddam’s Iraq acted in pretty much the same vein. Palestinians living in Iraq enjoyed a reality that rarely (if ever) repeated itself in any other Arab country.

    Saddam’s Ba’ath regime treated Palestinians better than it treated most of Iraq’s own populace, be it Kurds or Shi’i Arabs. In recent history, Sadr’s militia in Iraq acted to ethnically cleanse them (and pretty violently at that) for just that reason - Sadr saw them as outsiders who had gotten favorable treatment.

    “In recent history, Sadr’s militia in Iraq acted to ethnically cleanse them [Palestinians] (and pretty violently at that)”

    Can you believe that the media forgot to report that on a daily basis?

    second country then :P Iraq is not so palestinian-friendly anymore, indeed.
    No international outcry about that of course.

    It’s sad what’s happening in Gaza btw. I’d rather see Israel assassinating Hamas leaders somehow different than what they are doing now (what is Israel actually doing?).

    The international outcry to what Israel is doing is of course silly. While Hamas let it happen that way more rockets fell on Israeli soil than the rockets which were fired by Israel in the last two days, Israel is being blamed for excessive force by the UN. Perhaps because Israeli rockets are deadlier, but Hamas should have realised that.

    You can not poke a lion every day and expect it to do nothing about it.

    Anyhow,.. everytime Israel is hitting _back_ the (non-Israeli) organisation I work for gets dozens of antisemitic comments. You don’t want to know. It’s like if they find an excuse to blame Jews and spread their hatred, they use it. Reading those makes you feel that you personally dropped a bomb on a Gazan baby’s head, which is - of course completely false.

    Suzanne - Israel is killing enemy fighters and destroying enemy ammunitions. The fact that both are hiding behind civilian skirts is irrelevant.

    We are a state that has been bombed non-stop for years on end now. The way I see it, we are morally justified to give all of Gaza one day’s warning and then turn it into a glassbowl… later to be filled with the decapitated heads of terrorists.

    I am sick and tried of the favorite Palestinian “murder-and-whine” tactic - kill as many Jews as possible, whine about being poor and miserable in the meanwhile. Fucking monsters.

    Well, Raccoon. Sure Israel is very mean to the poor Palestinians.

    While being attacked daily, and retaliate eventually after a few deaths with some power, they even think of this:
