There are 400,000 Palestinian Refugees in Lebanon. The Lebanese government actively excludes them from integrating into Lebanese society, including bans on living and working outside of the refugee camps. This leads to high unemployment and poverty in the camps, further fueling violence between Palestinians and Lebanese. This violence was amplified in the 1970s when Palestinian militant groups fleeing Jordan took root in Lebanon. In 1975, antagonism between the Palestinians and Lebanese was one of the primary causes of the Lebanese Civil War. To this day, Palestinians in Lebanon have been horribly mistreated and more Palestinians died in the Lebanese Civil War than all conflicts in Israel/Palestine combined.

What approach did Jordan take to the Palestinian refugees who fled to Jordan from Israel?
Reception of Refugees 1948-1949: Palestinian Refugees fleeing Israel ended up in Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, and Egypt. In Jordan, certain Palestinians were allowed to apply for citizenship, but the majority were not and they were forced to live in Refugee Camps. Those who did not become Jordanian citizens remain refugees and their children remain refugees to this day. Those who did become citizens have an identifier in their passports saying that they are Palestinian (which opens them up to discrimination).Black September Sept. 1970 to July 1971: A Civil War in Jordan in which around 15,000 Palestinians (militants and civilians) were killed by Jordanian Authorities after the Palestinian pseudo-state that had developed in western Jordan had attempted to assassinate King Hussein.

What are the events of the Arab-Palestinian Conflict?
The Arab-Palestinian Conflict is composed of several Arab-Palestinian Battles and intermittent and long periods of Palestinian mistreatment at Arab hands. In fact, more Palestinians have died as a result of the Arab-Palestinian Conflict than the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict to date. In almost every Arab country where Palestinians have gone, they have been abused and attacked. Unfortunately, because many want to believe that the Arabs are a united people, this type of violence is rarely spoken about. Here are some events:Reception of Refugees 1948-1949: Palestinian Refugees fleeing Israel ended up in Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, and Egypt. In Lebanon and Syria, laws were immediately passed denying them access to citizenship and requiring them to live in Refugee Camps without work papers or documents. These laws have not been changed and the descendants of these original refugees inherited their refugee status. In Jordan, certain Palestinians were allowed to apply for citizenship, but the majority were not and they were forced to live in Refugee Camps. Those who did not become Jordanian citizens remain refugees and their children remain refugees to this day. Those who did become citizens have an identifier in their passports saying that they are Palestinian (which opens them up to discrimination). Palestinians in Egypt were mostly deported to Gaza and placed in Refugee Camps there, but the ones who stayed were integrated into Egyptian society as residents, but not citizens. They also had an identifier in their documents saying that they are Palestinian (which opens them up to discrimination).Black September Sept. 1970 to July 1971: A Civil War in Jordan in which around 15,000 Palestinians (militants and civilians) were killed by Jordanian Authorities after the Palestinian pseudo-state that had developed in western Jordan had attempted to assassinate King Hussein. The Palestinians lost and the militants were forcibly evicted.Tel az-Zaatar Massacre Aug. 12, 1976: Lebanese Christian Falangists and the Syrian Army attacked Tel az-Zaatar (Hill of Thyme) which was a Palestinian Refugee Camp in Lebanon. Between 1500 and 3000 Palestinians were killed.Egyptian Restrictive Laws 1979: A number of laws were passed in Egypt limiting the rights of Palestinian residents in Egypt. According to the new laws, they were denied residency and free-education rights. Those who were allowed to travel using a [special] Egyptian document for Palestinian refugees were required to enter Egypt every six months so as not to lose their residency rights. It is noteworthy that this document does not allow its holder to travel to other countries without a visa, except for Sudan. It also requires its holder to obtain a visa upon entry to Egypt on the return trip.Sabra and Shatila Massacre Sept. 16-18, 1982:Lebanese Christian Falangists in Lebanon routed the Refugee Camps of Sabra and Shatila, killing between 762 and 3500 civilians (most of whom were Palestinians). The UN determined this act to be a genocide. While Israel was indirectly responsible since it was near the Refugee Camps, no Israeli soldier engaged in the violence.Kuwaiti Expulsion in 1991: Between 100,000 and 200,000 Palestinian guest workers were evicted from Kuwait because Yasser Arafat aligned himself with Saddam Hussein (not because of something the guest workers had actually done). 4,000 Palestinians were also killed by vigilante groups in 1991. Another 100,000 would leave due to the terrible conditions in Kuwait for the Palestinians. The 1990 population of between 300,000 and 400,000 Palestinians in Kuwait dropped to 20,000 by 1992.Libyan Expulsion in 1994-1995: The Libyan government expressed its displeasure for the Oslo Accords and possible Israeli-Palestinian Peace by expelling tens of thousands of long-term Palestinian residents.Iraqi Exodus in 2003-Present: Some 21,000 Palestinians fled Iraq in response to systematic terror and persecution that they faced in the wake of the US-Iraq War.Lebanon Internal Conflict of 2007 (May 20th to Sept. 7th): Three Palestinian Refugee camps in Lebanon: Nahr el-Bared, Tripoli, and Ain al-Hilweh were attacked by the Lebanese government. 226 Palestinian Militants were killed as were 64 civilians. However, 31,400 Palestinian refugees were forced to flee when the Lebanese army destroyed the entire camp of Nahr el-Bared.Syrian Civil War 2011-Present: Of the Syrian Palestinian Refugee population of 500,000 prior to the Civil War, a large number have fled to become "double refugees". While neighboring countries like Jordan have provisions to take care of Syrian Refugees, Syrian Palestinians are not entitled to those benefits. Several Syrian Palestinian Refugee Camps in Syria (like Yarmouk) have been the sites of intense campaigns between the Loyalists and Free Syrian Army. At least 3,200 Syrian Palestinians have died.
