And still completely ignoring the treatment and state of about 500,000 Palestinians in Lebanon for 75 years.
Like everyone else.No Jews, no news.

Yikes. It started out as expats in Japan and took a left turn to concentration camp real fast.
I never knew about this. It seems strange to me that they'd give work permits to others but not their culturally, ethnically similar neighbors. I wonder why they'd prefer to give permits to others?
In the immediate aftermath of the Nakba, they didn’t want to make the refugees status permanent because they expected the refugees to someday be able to return to their land. In more modern times, Lebanon has a (largely unsuccessful) balance of power between the Christians, Sunnis, and Shias. Making the refugees position permanent would significantly upset that balance by shifting the population in favor of the Sunnis.
Got it. Thank you for the explanation.
