Last Palestinian refugees from Iraq head to Brazil Oct 18, 2007 AMMAN (AFP) — The last group of Palestinian refugees who fled the violence in Iraq headed to a new life in Brazil on Thursday from a Jordanian desert camp where they had been stranded for around three years. "Thirty Palestinian refugees left the Ruweished camp for (Amman's international) airport to travel to Brazil," United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees spokeswoman Dana Bajali told AFP. They are the third group of Palestinians who fled Iraq for neighbouring Jordan, where they lived in the desert transit refugee camp near the border following Saddam Hussein's ouster in 2003. "The camp will be officially closed," Bajali said. In September, 35 refugees arrived in Brazil, and 36 more headed there earlier this month. All of them are being rehoused in Brazil with help from the Brazilian government and the United Nations. ELMAT: We've got 110. We will not charge them for the air they would breath, instead: Brazil, which has a large Arab community has said it planned to teach them Portuguese, give them identity papers and provide them with monthly financial aid until they are able to support themselves. London-based Amnesty International said in a report in October that thousands of Palestinian refugees in Iraq had been ill-treated, with many of them abducted, tortured and murdered by armed Shiite Muslim groups. The Palestinians are targeted because they are seen to have received "preferential treatment" under Saddam's ousted dictatorship, according to Amnesty, which has urged international protection for them.

M, I have a big problem balancing between government interference and the I'm alright jack mentality... On one hand I hate seeing my hard earned dough being wasted by anyone else but me.. On the other hand I look at Canada's social outlook and it still seems to be all round one of the better ones. None of it is black and white to me.. In one system we may as well be ants ... possibly I think too highly of myself :O) TBS :O)
