Places mentioned

Israel
"But this opposition within the UN to Israel doesnt just stop there..."
Syria
"To give some idea of the imbalance and ludicrousness of this, at the height of the Syrian Civil War, with Bashar al-Assads forces shown to have used chemical weapons, there were only two resolutions against Syria versus six against Israel."
Egypt
"Basic workers in Egypt, Syria, and Pakistan complain that they get no such subsistence allowance for housing and food..."
Jordan
"Jordan has in fact led the way with integrating a number of Palestinians into their society though a large number still remain in refugee camps..."
Gaza, Palestinian Territories
"Concern about absorbing possible jihadist or terrorist groups might indeed be a factor a number of Palestinians sided with rebel groups in Syria, and the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt is closely allied with Hamas in Gaza."
Lebanon
"Indeed, that delicate balance in Lebanon has been the main reason for them not accepting and absorbing Palestinians as part of their nation, meanwhile keeping them just in refugee camps though that could have been bypassed by making them permanent residents with all rights, as Israel did after 1967 with many remaining Arabs."
Saudi Arabia
"...forced to work as servants and menial labourers in oil-rich nations such as Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates."
United Arab Emirates
"...forced to work as servants and menial labourers in oil-rich nations such as Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates."
United Kingdom
"Or, as per my earlier peace plan. But that isnt a factor in Egypt, Syria, or Jordan, so what are their excuses?Jordan has in fact led the way with integrating a number of Palestinians into their society though a large number still remain in refugee camps this despite Yasser Arafat and the Palestine Liberation Organization in 1972 attempting to overthrow the Jordanian King."
