Report: UAE to deport hundreds of Palestinians by month's end

Sooner or later, they will get it back!

I just wanted to ask if this decision had taken by the Lebanese Government in Lebanon,what would happened in the Cedars country ? What would be Hebollah's reaction?? the one of the Arab World? They would say that the Lebanse Government is pro-Israeli and the Christians of Lebanon are responsible of this descision. The civil war of year 1975 would be repeated,strating from Beirut.

No good African/Arabist politician is going to say a word

You didn't know how much world public opinion a few trillion dollars can buy? REALLY??!!

Of course they are palestinians, let's send them back to jordan, better yet to isreal. How ignorate the uae rulling family are. I gess they have a short term memory loss when it comes to history, they don't seem to grasp the implacation of their actions and they will nerver understand, if it was isreali gov who did this the arab will be crying including the palestinian gov, not a single word in the arab media or in the american media about this at all, makes you wonder what double standard these gov are?

How's it different from what Israel does to Palestinians born in East Jerusalem?

If Israel deported hundreds of Palestinians you would be screaming "apartheid" at the top of your lungs. Somehow I do not expect a peep concerning this from you.

After Israel was created and Jews were forced out of the Muslim countries where they had lived in for almost 2,000 years, Israel opened up to accept them. Unfortunately the same never happened in Muslim countries. I guess that for some reason the world thought that the Arabs would act like the Israelis.

If they had ever had the vision and courage, the Gulf states could have chipped in and built a Palestinian state that would rival Israel in development and industry. Look at UAE, Dubai, Saudi Arabia...Too bad they're all preoccupied with doing away with Israel instead. I guess kicking the Palestinians out is a sign of their strong brotherhood eh.

LYN YOU ARE RIGHT IN WHAT YOU POST.

RPHAEL MOSHE YOUR POSTING IS VERY TRUE, YOU TALK REAL SENSE. GOD BLESS YOU AND ALL YOUR FAMILY, SHABBAT SHALOM. DANNY.

folks see it that way is because of the Arab States insertion of themselves into the Palestinian/Israeli issue of seperation. After all the Sunnis and Shiites call Pals their "brethern". Even Iran has inserted itself into the politics of the two. So, it isn't untoward to think this may be part of the conversation. I believe, honestly speaking, this is part of the problem on everyone's part. Too much intrusion and not enough support for both sides to move forward.

As their likely destination will be the West Bank part of the future Palestine, the US should help the PA prepare by tripling the budget for PA security force training. Just as Iraqi security is still ramping up and Afghan security will be ramped up rapidly, so too should Palestinian Security.

What our posters don't grasp What our posters don't grasp is that many of these "Palestinians" were born in the UAE as may have been their parents. They are NOT "ex-pats" or "migrant labor", rather, they are people that are denied citizenship throughout the Arab world, on the basis of having had a male ancestor that once lived in pre-state Israel. Its part of a systematic design, along with such things as UNRWA, to perpetuate the Palestinians as as "refugee" population from generation to generation, in order to have a hostile population of cannon fodder to use against Israel. The Arab world has always been ready to fight Israel to the very last Palestinian life.

Israel may not wish to have right of return. If the Arab States expel their Palestinian populations, then they will have to be returned to either the occupied territories or to Israel proper. Faiking that the sight of thousands of Palestinians sat on the border will be a PR disaster for Israel within the International Community. A good move by the Arabs.

Funny how Arabs always change the script! Essentially Arabs are occupiers of most of the lands they inhabit. They misplace and murder the ethnic populations and claim the land for their own in the name of Mohammad. Most Arabs who call themselves "Palestinian" are really Egyptians or Syrians which I might add were also not historically Arab but Arab occupied. Arabs come from Arabia which arguably the colony of UAE is part of and should be allowed for all those who call themselves "Arabs" to live as it is their true homeland.

Fellow Arabs and Muslims are considered your "brethren" for obvious reasons: They have been at least 3 wars against Israel with the aim of exterminating the Jews there explicitly in your people's name. With a couple exceptions, no Arab or Muslim country maintains relations with Israel as "solidarity" with your people. Hundreds of Arab/Muslim non-governmental armed groups (i.e. terrorists) attempt to attack Jews all over the world in your name (they even blew up a plane here in Panama, killing my uncle among others in '94). Thousands of Jews are attacked or insulted all over the world by Muslims on an "informal" basis in your name... would you like any more examples?

You are right about the Arab non-thing. It was cooked up to serve some nationalistic purpose in the same way that the Jews cooked up their nationalistic thing to justify taking over the land of others. Several countries were rid of their Jews at or without Israel's instigation but only the Palestinians were made to pay for them all. Israel has been using the set-off gimmick to cancel out the Palestinians' claims to their land. Egypt and Jordan get 3 billions a year for having made peace but the Palestinians got nothing but more misery. Arab-Jews with valid claims should file against the different Arab countries even if Israel has been objecting to it from the start to sustain its expulsion policies since over 60 years.

Jews (for a cause that only G'd know) is the people more persecuted in the world, arabs gaining such hate because they are terrorists.

The United Arab Emirates wants to expel its fellow Arabs "for security reasons"! Israel, on the other hand, unlike the UAE has genuine security problems with Arab terrorists attacking its peaceful Jewish population. Maybe Israel should think about following the UAE's example?

Is this fair? The Arabs do not want the Palestinians on their land, although they have large territories, yet they want Israel with its small space to give away large portions to have peace. When Israel has given away land--it has never been enough. Someone is always demanding more. Let the Arab countries give away THEIR land for their poor Palestinian brothers who they say are so mistreated. Its very easy to tell someone else to be charitable, PUT YOUR TURF WHERE YOUR MOUTH IS!

This report is not true, at least the part about deporting the Palestinians.UAE official was on al jazeera today, he denied the deporting of Palestinians but he did say they are deporting few Lebanese.

you may be right in that the situation of the pal. migrant workers isn't comparable to the one of native pals in israel. also, my guess is the expulsion from the UAE is linked to a percieved threat coming from iran. but one has to ask, in general, where is arab solidarity? the 100s of thousands pals living in arab countries, many of whom ar born there, should've had their citizenship in those countries long time ago. this would contribute to peace (much more than keeping them in camps) as well as enable these pals to return to help building a pal. state. western countries have done this, while even the richest of the arab states are happy to talk solidarity but leave the deeds to everybody else. if the -67 war hadn't happened the pals would still be in camps & scattered around the globe like they are today. nobody talks about the rich arab states' own version of "apartheid" vis a vis their fellow arabs & muslims. shalom /salaam.

They are despised by Kuwaitis for siding with Saddam when he invaded, despised by Iraqis for being Sunni and siding with Saddam, despised by many Lebanese for their stay in that country, killed by the thousands by the Jordan Legion, used as pawns by Arab countries with their own agendas, and in the so called Saudi peace plan required to leave their host countries where they have been kept in camps and required to return to the state of Palestine if and when that should occur. And they can blame it on their own leadership which has spent all it's time and money (what wasn't stolen by that leadership) on trying to destroy Israel in stead of building anything. Perhaps Abbas and Fayyad have hopefully,finally seen the light.

Welcome home

Some MEasteners are trouble makers involved in activities that are not accepted and tolarated in few ME countries that are focused strictly on economic development for the benefit of their citizens. UAE does not need them to bring the seed of hate and fanatic ideas into their country.

Palestinians in Israel, are natives. Palesitinians in UAE are expats..a big difference.

in all the arab countries there are strict anti-palestian laws. The best place in the ME for Palestinians is Israel. Second best Jordan, 3rd Palestinian areas in Judea and Sameria.

Someone above posted something to the effect of "it's fine when they do it to each other". Who exactly is "each other"? It's getting tiresome to continuously see the pro-occupation crowd regard everything through this canard of "Arab brethren" or "Arab world". There is no Arab "nation" or "brethren". There never was. As a Palestinian (or non-Jewish native if the greater Jerusalem area if you prefer), I've never considered non-Palestinian Arabs as "brethren", so why do you do so, if not to sustain malicious pro-expulsion ideology?

The Palestinina Alayah has begun.

You have; 700,000 of them in 49 and another couple of hundred thousands in 67 and the world never said boo about it and Israel is still up and running and continuing to do more of it.

The Palestinians residing in UAE are migrant workers. Israel has many migrant workers, while the Palestinians living in Israel and in the West Bank, are the natives. So Obviously there is no comparison betweeen the the two conditions. As you may know, Israel has deported some Palestinians, in the past under the pretext of security threat, but that also is a different situiation and limited in scope. You guessed it right though that any mass deportation/ transfer of native Palestinians will sure cause an international outcry.

Do I miss something? Palestinian are not UAE citizens! but they are citizens of the occupied land! you can expelled from other people lands but no one should deport you from your own!

And in Afghanistan, 90 people killed by NATO, including 40 civilians. Anyone out in the streets of London etc., demonstrating against the civilian deaths, of course not, it wasnt Israel.

where are the protests around the world, where is the divestment from UAE companies?? the only thing that is here is plain hypocricy with a few doses of anti-semitism thrown in

the whole world would have put their collective hands around our throats to strangle us. the united nations would be up in arms and the arab world would scream and rage.obama and hilary clinton would make outraged comments and the eu would give vent to their antisemitic hatred. .
