Which is better/worse, putting the relatives of enemies in an interrment camp (a la WWII Japanese) or expelling them from the country?

I'm among those who think that the interment made a modicum of sense, however, there's no way that property should not have been retained in the name of the interred and returned when the crisis was over.

I will say the same here, that the expulsion of suspects during war is an understandable thing. However, there must be just compensation for property lost; or a right to regain property after the crisis is over.

You forget, these are people who also received $25K from Saddam.

It ruled that the Ajouris could be expelled from their home in the Iskar refugee camp in Nablus to the Gaza Strip for two years.

It's doubtful these people owned any property. They have been living off the teat of the U.N. in refugee camps. War and fundamental nutty stuff is all they know or live for. Remember, it's one of the reasons they hate us and the West, what they perceive as our materialism and secular way of life. They aren't real big on acquiring property or "things." There will be nothing to return to them.
