There are many many reasons why Arabs might need or want to be relocated to Oregon.

Just in the past few weeks some Arabs settled by Saddam's govt in houses which had been stolen from Kurds a few decades ago were kicked out of their homes. They are now refugees as the Kurds had been before. Don't know why you havent posted about these Kurdish and Iraqi Arab refugees - you seem only interested in some other middle eastern refugees.

Even before the last few weeks, Saddam's persecution of his own people had created a vast Iraqi refugee population outside Iraq - numbering in the many millions. But in your view Palestinians are the only refugees in the middle east. And the millions of Kurdish and Iraqi Arabs who have fled persecution and violence cannot be refugees.

The Syrian govt is pushing Assyrian Christians native to northeast Syria off their land right now. Something else you havent bothered to post about before. But they are not Palestinians and their problems can't be blamed on the only people you desire to see as villians so the Assyrians don't exist.

A majority of the Christian minorities in the middle eastern Muslim nations - Armenians, Assyrians, Chaldeans, Maronites, Greek Orthodox - have over the past century fled their homelands or been massacred. But they are not to be noticed. Only Palestinians matter. Says len grasso, the self-appointed guardian of justice in the middle east.

Lastly, Israel has made some of the Palestinians refugees- though most still live in Palestine. When you look at the middle east as a whole, its surprising - the Palestinians are actuallly a minority of the total number of middle eastern refugees.

I guess you do object to Arab refugees from the middle east coming to Oregon after all. You were willing to accept Jews, but you are not after all willing to accept Muslims or even Levantine Christians as neighbors. Why? Do they seem to culturally foreign to you? What is the basis of this bias?
