August 19, 1951 Palestinian  Refugees

“Who brought the Palestinians to Lebanon as refugees, suffering now from the malign attitude of newspapers and communal leaders, who have neither honour nor conscience?  Who brought them over in dire straits and penniless, after they lost their honour?  The Arab states, and Lebanon amongst them, did it!

 “You are welcoming thousands of Kurds and Assyrians as co-religionists and citizens; however you deny the right of those, in the expulsion, humiliation and poverty of whom you had a hand, to take refuge with you and to give you their energy love, power, and property.”
