Here's a real humanitarian crisis....

The Lebanese put off voting on giving rights to Palestinian refugees...

The Lebanese parliament has postponed voting on a bill that would grant civil rights to descendants of Arab refugees by one month after postponing it for the last 62 years. The refugees in question are those descended from Arabs who fled pre-state Israel during the War of Independence.

More than 400,000 such descendants are registered as refugees with UNRWA in Lebanon, comprising approximately 10% of the country's population. They are still not allowed to work in most professions or to own property and thus preserve their refugee status, using it to pressure Israel in the UN and world media.

The original refugees left Israel in 1948 when promised by Arab leaders that they would return after a quick victory against the fledgling Jewish state. Since this did not occur, the refugees remained where they were, some coming under Israeli sovereignty as a result of the 1967 Six Day War, when once again the Arab nations vowed to destroy Israel and failed.

Arab countries have consistently refused to integrate the refugees into their respective countries, causing a boom in "refugee" demographics as time went on. Their children and grandchildren continue to be termed refugees by the UN, whereas untold millions of non Arab refugees have been resettled and rehabilitated by that same body and host countries all over the world during the same period.
