You are foolish. A political statement is absolutely not necessary. Do you think the mass of Palestenians care where they live? They're just tired of being in refugee camps because their brothers won't allow them to live there. Thus these iterant people will continue to exist as long as the regimes in the Arabic peninsula find it convienient. The real solution is to take out a few of those regimes -- Israel has the firepower and the drive to do so -- and force them to grow up. Nothing less than that will convince those Arabic dictators to change their mind. A political solution WILL NEVER achieve this.

We're even, then. I think your "solution" is foolish.

Camp is a misnomer - where are the tents and temporary shelters?

Many, if not the majority would resist being moved out of the "camps" because whilst they are classified as "refugees" the UN feeds, educates and medicates them for free. Priveleges they would immediately lose upon moving out - and what would they move out to except another slum.

The UN is responsible for perpetuating the problem 3 or 4 generations later and no doubt will continue to do so for the coming generations.
