Mufti of Lebanon: Palestinians are 'trash', not welcome

[dayag]

Arab support for the Palestinians is a mile wide and an inch deep.

The mufti of Lebanon, Sheikh Mohammed Rashid Qabbani, was quoted this week as saying that Palestinians are no longer welcome in his country.

He also condemned Palestinians as “trash” and said that he’s not afraid of their weapons.

Sheikh Qabbani’s remarks were made during a meeting he held in his office in Beirut with a Palestinian delegation representing refugees and various Palestinian factions in Lebanon...

Attempts by the Palestinian representatives to clam the mufti further enraged the top religious official, who at one point shouted at them: “You are trash. You [Palestinians] will never be victorious. Nor will your cause. I’m no longer afraid of your weapons.”...

Many in Lebanon rightly blame the Palestinians for their decades long civil war. When the PLO was kicked out of Jordan in 1970 they migrated to Lebanon start a civil war there. Which they helped to do in 1974-5. Moreover, and make no mistake, the Arab states are somewhat eager to see Palestine declare itself or state or whatever they will call it. Why? So they can kick out all their Palestinians to return to their 'homeland'.
