Palestinian refugees from Nahr al-Bared camp near Tripoli, who fled to al-Beddawi refugee camp, protest against lack of aid at their new residence in the schools of UNRWA (United Nations Relief and Works Agency) May 24, 2007 in Tripoli, Lebanon.
Since the establishment of the state of Israel, the number of Palestinians living in Arab countries has grown to nearly five million. They are often denied citizenship, and have few legal or economic rights in their host countries.
Many point to a failure of integration as the root cause of such discrimination. Arab host governments claim this is done to maintain pressure for the “right of return.”
In this episode of The Stream, we speak with Laila ElHaddad (@gazamom), a blogger and journalist and Mahmoud El Ali, a professor of Sociology at Lebanese University.
