These Arabs are denied citizenship by their hosting brothers.
Your reference to King Hussein sounds like a reference to Black September, when Jordanian forced massacred - and justifiably so - thousands of Palestinians who, under the leadership of Arafat, were planning on overpowering Hussein's monarchy, phony as it still is.

Yes I thought something like that was the case. I did a paper on the six day war between Israel and Egypt. I received transcriptions from the israeali embassy that was made by Nasrs radio speeches in Egypt. and he spared not on the expensive words. There was no ends to the many ways he would make sure that the zionists would be removed. We all know what happened, however. Israel mobilized when he kept thundering about war, and he got his nose bloodied. I wonder if he ever really DID want a war, of if it was a charade. Seeing as the egypt air force got caught with their knickers down, apparantly not.
The case of israel and the palestinians plight was a political tool for Nasr nothing more. Too bad it was a blowtorch and he held it wrong, nozzle facing him. I think it still is a tool today. A nice "Quick, look, its a 3 headed monkey" diversion when social unrest threatens the home front.
Had the neighbouring countries actually assimilated the refugees, perhaps there would not have been so much hostility. Probably still some, but at least the palestinian refugee's situation would have been less precarious.
