Lawfare and discrimination against Palestinians by Arab countries

Hey I want to talk about something that is a very uncomfortable truth regarding Arab countries and their attitude towards Palestinians. Arab countries, which claim that they support Palestine, only do so to fulfill their own self interest. The reality of their "support" is different. Palestinians are not allowed to be in certain arab countries, they are not allowed to get citizenship, residence permit, pasport. Palestinians cannot fully live in Arab countries.

First read this info about Palestinians in Israel: All persons legally resident and registered, born or naturalised in Palestine under the British Mandate (1919-1948) were British Protected Persons, holders of British (Palestine) passports. Citizenship in both Jewish and Arab states – proposed by the Partition Plan set out in UN Res. 181 in 1947 – was meant to be granted to all inhabitants. However, when Britain promptly ended its mandate on 15 May 1948, it was left to the successor state, Israel, to determine entitlement to nationality.

Here are some facts:

Today more than half of the eight million or so Palestinians are considered to be de jure stateless persons. These fall broadly into three categories:

• holders of the 'Refugee Travel Document' (RTD) issued by Syria, Lebanon, Egypt, Iraq and some other Arab countries (not a pasport/citizenship)

• holders of nationalities of convenience - mainly temporary Jordanian passports (not a pasport/citizenship)

• holders of the Palestinian passport issued by the Palestinian Authority (PA) which is considered as a travel document pending formation of a fully-fledged Palestinian state.

Policies of Arab countries regarding Palestinians:

Two main principles - set out in an Arab League protocol signed in Casablanca in 19651 - have determined the treatment of Palestinian refugees in host Arab states:

1. Granting Palestinian refugees full citizenship rights but denying them naturalisation (meaning, if a Palestinian is born in a certain Arab state, they will get a citizenship but a Palestinian not born in e.g. Egypt, will not get a citizenship even if they've lived there for 20 years)

2. Issuing them with Refugee Travel Documents (RTD) in order to maintain their refugee status (again, not granting citizenship)

But protocol was not followed through by some Arab countries, including Lebanon, Saudi Arabia and Egypt. Meaning that Palestinians were not only denied possibility of citizenship, but even their refugee statuses (RTD).

Additionally, Palestinians were expelled en masse from Kuwait in 1991 and from Libya in 1995. Palestinians in Iraq had to endure acts of vengeance including killings, evacuation and deportation.

Instititional discrimination against Palestinians in Arab countries:

The legal status, residency and civil rights of Palestinian communities in the Arab World are increasingly uncertain, particularly in Lebanon and Egypt where they are denied rights to secure residency, employment, property, communal interaction and family unification (this part is very similar how Jews were treated in Europe).

Procedures to allow nonresidents to apply for naturalisation in Lebanon, Egypt and Saudi Arabia do not apply to stateless Palestinians.

Palestinian refugees in Jordan have Jordanian nationality but are denied equal political participation and subjected to subtle forms of discrimination. Jordanian authorities refuse to offer naturalisation to those Palestinians who at the time of their displacement in 1967 did not hold Tordanian passports. Some 60,000 stateless Palestinians, mainly from Gaza and original holders of Egyptian RTDs, were allowed to stay but have been denied any civil rights and most are confined to a camp near the northern city of Jarash.

What is my point?

I want to demonstrate how Arab countries are directly harming Palestinians. While Arab countries express their support for Palestine, restricting their freedom of movement by elaborate rules of law that deny them possibility of pursuing better life outside Palestine is a blatant violation of human rights.

At this moment, while Israel is bombing Palestine, Egypt and Jordan are refusing to open their borders to Palestinians fleeing the bombs.

Arab countries are physically trapping Palestinians in Palestine not giving them proper means to live in the Arab world outside Palestine.

Palestinians don't have anywhere to go and that is not a hyperbole, it is a deliberate lawfare against them by their "brothers" from the Arab world. While Israel is destroying Palestine, it is also important to see how much harm the policies of Arab countries cause regular Palestinians who want to flee the conflict zone and live a better life.

Naples - Amman and beyond; aka old ruins tour Part 2

Out with gritty, dirty, graffitied, boisterous Naples, and off to the Middle East. The Red Arrow train flew like the proverbial namesake - very smooth, passing Mum's tapestry test. That got us as far as Rome, then a different train experience out to the airport. Heavingly full, heavingly hot, but got the job done.

3 1/2 hours to Jordan, where we got whisked through from airport gate to hotel room with personal escorts.

This morning we headed north to Jarash (aka Jerash; local spelling seems to be Jarash) - "Rome away from Rome". It is one of the best preserved Roman cities, and quite quite spectacular. Quite a contrast to Pompei, with a lot more still standing (despite 3 major earthquakes over the millenia), MUCH less crowds, and much fewer restrictions about where you can go and what you can touch (in Jaresh, almost everywhere and almost everything!).

The local slushy was not quite what we expected, but very refreshing mint and lemon - almost a virgin mojito.

Next stop was Ajloun Castle, an important part of the postal system and defense against the evil Crusades. Jack will be able to tell us which crusade was which?! From the top of the castle, you are meant to be able to see to the Sea of Galilee, the Jordan River valley and the Dead Sea (north, west, south), and the West Bank. Unfortunately today was hazy, so we had to imagine that bit.

It is incredible to think about the flow of history through this area - the Persians, Greeks and Romans all had a crack, one after another, before a period of Arab kingdoms/dynasties, then the Ottomans! I kind of wish I had paid more attention to history lessons, but plenty of raw material to get my head around.

The north of Jordan is incredibly fertile. the ground looks like rock and sand, but it produces a huge amount of fruit especially. Lots of trees, huge olive groves.

Back at the hotel now, and planning our assault on dinner. Apparently Jordanians typically dine after 8 or 9pm, so maybe we will get in with the earlybird specials. Or maybe everywhere will be shut until later...

Loving Jordan so far. Petra tomorrow - v excited!

Cheers to all

Whirlwind 3 day tour through Jordan but definitely worth the side trip from Israel, despite the long border checks! We hiked up to the monastery in Petra and with less crowds and a gorgeous view of the valley it was the highlight #petra #nofilter #bucketlist #jarash #mountnebo #wadirum #camel https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs3u-gfhm7q/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ovpbww64ki9v

Beautiful #Jarash! One of the world’s biggest Roman cities. Jerash is a city in Jordan, north of the capital Amman. Inhabited since the Bronze Age, it’s known for the ruins of the walled Greco-Roman settlement of Gerasa just outside the modern city. #jerash (at Jerash, Jordan) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMuSCXlBZVt/?igshid=11v0kwwd8ls55

Hadrian's Arch (129 AD) stands at the southern entrance to Gerasa, one of the ten self-governing cities of Roman Decapolis. Today Jerash, Jordan, is a magnet for tourists.
