was there not a tri-state originally? Jordan, Palestine and Israel? And are not many of the Palestinians in Jordan originally refugees who were given (contrary to popular opinion that Arab states did nothing..if it is indeed an Arab state..I don't know..) Jordanian citizenship? I think part of the solution is that the former British colonies, who bungled this up pretty well, and America (however defined) should take in many refugees, and the refugees who want to immigrate should not be held back by their fellows for political reasons. There has been great social pressure on them not to give in to offers of immigration etc....but they need to...they have held out long enough and it is not helping them at all. Quick offer them immigration while there are still those among them who know how to farm....mg
