The more recent refugees from Israel/Palestine in Jordan might mostly be in camps but there are people who where born, or had parents and/or grandparents who where born in Israel/Palestine who live outside of camps in Jordan. I just said "not all of them live in camps". In Jordan Palestians are actually the majority of the population. And yes, some Palestinian refugees were shipped back to Palestine after the war with Israel. Yes and Israel has also deported some Palestinians. However in both cases the vast majority of Palestinians where not shipped anywhere. Your talking hundreds of people, at most low thousands, out of a population of millions. Jordan is home to roughly 1.3 million refugees living in 13 camps across the country, nearly one-third of all refugees in host countries. 1.3 million refugees but at least that many more that are not in camps. Jordan has about 6 million people and more then 50% are considered Palestinian. Also with 1.3 million in camps you are talking about camps the size of small cities, not simple small easily controled camps so even the Palestinians in the camps could be a problem. Tim
