Hitti: No One Can Impose Naturalization on Us
Foreign Minister Nassif Hitti stressed Wednesday that no one can impose the naturalization of Palestinian or Syrian refugees on Lebanon, a day after U.S. President Donald Trump unveiled his long-awaited Mideast peace plan, which does not entail the return of Palestinian refugees.
“The Arab Peace Initiative, which was unanimously endorsed at the Beirut Arab Summit in March 2002, represents a comprehensive and just approach to achieve permanent peace in the region,” Hitti said in a TV interview.
“No one can impose on us the naturalization of anyone,” the minister added.
Noting that he would stress commitment to the resolutions of the 2002 Arab Summit during the upcoming emergency Arab League meeting which will be held in Cairo, Hitti said no side has asked Lebanon to “agree to any issue in return for aid.”
“The issue is not a real estate deal, we are talking about a people’s national identity,” the minister went on to say.

Bigjohn, you don't want Lebanon to grant citizenship to the decendents of the Palestinians who were told to leave their homes by their religious leaders, but on the other hand when Lebanese citizens emigrate to France (Mr.Ghosn for example), South America or Canada, you expect them to grant you citizenship.
How two-faced can you be.

Bigjohn, you are a ugly settler occupying a foreign nation, according to your definition of "nativeness". So if you are not living in Lebanon, you should just stop your ridiculous discourse about naturalization and be coherent : go back to Lebanon and never leave it nor rely on foreign countries for you to make your living.
