The Israelis have kept the Palestinians in refugee camps for over 50 years.

The Israelis kicked some Palestinians off their lands. An apparently greater number of Palestinians left without being kicked off and the Israelis didn't let them back. The Palestinians consider that to be unjust, but just or not it isn't keeping the Palestinians in refugee camps for 50 years.

What do you think the West Bank is? Israel has controlled the West Bank for nearly 50 years......actually 40...sorry. That is where most of the refugee camps are.......the rest are mostly in Jordan.

If the Arab governments in the other countries, or the PA in the West Bank or Gaza don't let the Palestinians live elsewhere then they are keeping the Palestinians in the camps. If the Palestinians can't afford land or there are few houses or apartments available then no specific person or group is directly responsible.

Either you don't understand the situation or you are playing games. Where do you want the Palestinians to live? They are from Palestine....do you want them to emigrate to Greece or Germany?

A. Sharon, the current PM of Israel, was tried by an Israeli tribunal and found guilty in the slaughter of thousands of Palestinians in Lebanon.

No he was not found guilty of any crime. The Israeli investigation did blame him for not preventing the massacres but that isn't the same thing as being "found guilty in the slaughter of..."

Get real, Tim. You're playing semantic games.
