Best Answer

Islamic countries surrounding Israel/Palestine all have UNRWA camps where Palestinians live in perpetual refugee-ness. In Lebanon, they do not even have work papers (forget citizenship or residency) that would allow them to leave these camps on a regular basis, let alone citizenship. In Syria, they can get work papers, but not citizenship or residency. In both countries, but more commonly in Lebanon, these UNRWA camps are violently attacked and destroyed (look at Nahr el-Bared in 2007, as a perfect example). In Jordan, there is discrimination between '48 refugees and '67 refugees where the former get Jordanian citizenship and the latter are locked in camps. The governments in Lebanon, Syria, and Jordan prefer that this system is maintained because otherwise the Palestinians would be economic competition with citizens and increasing unemployment, which would threaten those autocratic regimes.

Why do Palestinians have no support when their current reduced borders are violated?

The Palestinians do have support. UNRWA, a United Nations organization specifically designed to help Palestinian Refugees, receives lots of funding from Western countries including the United States and Great Britain. The United States has also tried to help facilitate a negotiated solution. However, we should also look at the Arab countries who have continued to hold Palestinians in Refugee Camps rather than give them residency or citizenship. Unlike Israel, Lebanon has actually declared war on some of its Palestinian Refugee Camps, such as in the 2007 Nahr El-Bared Incident and the 1982 Sabra and Shatila Incidents. Most Arab countries' governments would rather support the paramilitary/terrorist groups of Palestinians than the families who go starving.

What is the relation between Philistine and Palestine?

The land where the Philistines lived was called Philistia (due to the Philistine's residency there). After the Jewish Revolts, the Romans decided to use the name Palaestina, a derivative of Philistia, to refer to all of the Jewish and non-Jewish areas in order to weaken the Jewish connection to the land. (Previously, it was called Judea.) It is from Palaestina that the British took the name Palestine and made it the name of the Mandate that they administered in the same area.
