Jordan should open border to Palestinian refugees: HRW
2006-04-09
Jordan should reopen immediately its border to Palestinian refugees fleeing from violence in Iraq, and the international community should aid in their resettlement in third countries acceptable to them, a leading US human rights group said Friday. The New York-based Human Rights Watch said that more than a hundred Palestinians have been stranded on the Iraqi side of the border with Jordan after fleeing lethal violence and threats to their lives in Baghdad. Jordan closed its border to all traffic after these Iraqi Palestinians crossed into no man’s land on March 19 and attempted to reach Jordan, the organization said in a statement. Jordan argues that it is already hosting thousands of Palestinian and Iraqi refugees, “and says that it is unable to cope with more,” it said.

#4  Perhaps they could consider resettling the refugees that have been in their countries since 1948.

#1  Yeah, like that'll happen.

I think the King there likes living too much.

Why don't the "human rights" clowns take them in? Put your money where your mouths are, assholes.
