Amnesty: Lebanon Discriminating Against Palestinians
October 17, 2007 · Mustapha Hamoui
Lebanon’s troubles with international watchdogs just don’t seem to end. After the incident with Human Rights Watch, now Amnesty International is slapping Lebanon on the wrist.
If this was a hotel, how many stars would it get?
Amnesty international has just released a damning report on Lebanon.
We are apparently treating the Palestinians as “second class citizens”. Although this is supposed to shame us, I think the typical Lebanese reaction would be something along the lines of: How dare you use the word “citizens” to describe Palestinian refugees?
