الراعي يحذر: السوريون والفلسطينون باتوا عبئا وخطرا على لبنان
Read this story in English
حذر البطريرك الماورني ما بشارة بطرس الراعي الى أن النازحين السوريين واللاجئين الفلسطينيين باتوا عبئا وخطرا على لبنان.
وقال الراعي خلال زيارته الراعوية الى ابرشيتي مار مارون - بروكلين وسيدة لبنان - لوس انجلس المارونيتين في الولايات المتحدة الاميركية "وفيما تعاني بلدان الشرق الاوسط من ويلات الحروب المذهبية والقتل والخراب والتهجير على ايدي منظمات ارهابية، مدعومة بالمال والسلاح والتغطية السياسية، نشعر بالحاجة الى بقاء المسيحيين في ارضهم واوطانهم، للشهادة على القيم الانجيلية: قيم الاخوة والسلام وقدسية الحياة البشرية، وكرامة الشخص البشري".
ولفت الى أنه "هذا مطلوب من المواطنين المسلمين المعتدلين وذوي الارادات الحسنة والمتمسكين بالقيم الاسلامية. لذا، يجب ان يعود جميع النازحين واللاجئين والمهجرين الى ارضهم واوطانهم، بحكم المواطنة".
وأضاف "أما بالنسبة الى الذين لجأوا الى لبنان من سوريا، وهم اكثر من مليون ونصف، ومع الفلسطينيين اصبحوا نصف الشعب اللبناني، فقد باتوا عبئا كبيرا على لبنان بل خطرا ديموغرافيا واقتصاديا وسياسيا وثقافيا وامنيا"، مشددا على أن عودتهم أصبحت واجبة الى الاماكن الآمنة في سوريا، من دون ان نتخلى نحن عن تضامننا الانساني معهم، والاجتماعي مع قضيتهم".

What is a refugee? According to all the branches of the UN except one, someone who was removed from his home.
(Don't start quoting me UNWRA who have an agenda of their own)
As over 90% of the "Palestinians" the Lebanese keep holed up in camps were born in Lebanon (i.e. are less than 70 years old) they are not entitled to be called refugees.

I promise I will not be quoting UNWRA, wasn't she in Star Trek with Kirk and Spock? You cannot pick and chose which UN agency you like to quote and forbid the rest to quote other UN agencies just because you are sensitive to what they say. That's like our resident terrorists claiming that the UN is an American-Zionist entity then quoting it when it suits them. He's a statistic for ya: 100% of Palestinians that the Israelis hole up in holes were born in Israel. 100% of Jews who came and are still coming to Israel from all over the world were born outside Israel. They automatically become "Israelis". A baby born to American parents outside the US is still an America. Same with the Palestinians, no quote needed.

"A baby born to American parents outside the US is still an America. Same with the Palestinians."
Completely agree with you on that point. However by no stretch of the imagination can they be regarded as refugees.
By the way, when the American baby travels abroad he uses an American Passport, what does the Palestinian born in Lebanon use?

Palestinian born in Lebanon does not use a Lebanese passport. He/she uses a Palestinian refugee passport or more accurately a travel document for Palestinian refugees. There's that word refugee again this time on an official document, how about that. It's always wise to know the answer to a loaded question before you ask it.

Now what would Prophet Christ say about Rahi and his opinions? Funny thing, 100 years ago, people would move freely in the Levant and settle around. There is halabi and shami etc families in Lebanon (syrian origin), and then nabulsi, ghazzaoui, akkawi, safadi, maqdissi rtc families in lebanon (palestinian origin) who are considered lebanese. Not to forget, the maronites were themselves refugees from syria at one point. Al rahi sounds like an amateur opportunist that does not fear God. Lebanon is not his property. Had he been a good leader, he would have looked for ways to improve the situation realistically instead of telling refugees to go home like a bad imitation of the worst of trump followers.

Does the Patriarch know there are more than 250,000 shia iraqis, yemenis and bahrainis in Lebanon under refugee status?
