How Palestinian Immigrants Destroyed Lebanon lV

    Hussein's Black September expulsion of Palestinians from Jordan was a calamity for Lebanon. Lebanon was the only Arab countries of twenty-two to accept Palestinian refugees. That fact needs to be kept in mind as you read the duplicitous sweet talk about Arabs caring about anything beyond their person aggrandizement and the spread of Islam. These Arabic countries had vast spaces in which to put the Palestinian refugees. They had the whole Sinai which the Egyptians had not been able to develop due to the drag of their radical Islamic culture. In addition, Nasser and the other Arab heads of states wanted the Palestinians to be their proxy fighters against Israel. These refugees, plus the high rate of Arab reproduction - another factor the European countries need to keep in mind regarding their Arab immigrants- and the exodus of Christians, who could feel the increased hostility due to the increased number of Arabs and saw the future- all resulted in the Arabs achieving a numerical superiority in Lebanon.
    In addition, the non-Muslims in Lebanon were aware of the terrorism of the PLO headed by Yassar Arafat, who was supported by the Soviet Union and other Muslim countries. The Arabs pushed a mandate to "Liberate Palestine" which meant to drive the Israelis into the sea onto the Palestinians. As they gradually became more blaming of Israel for everything wrong and converted to radical Islam, the Palestinians saw Lebanon as a base to wage war against Israel and have Israel make reprisals in Lebanon rather than the densely packed Palestine.
