Israel allows Palestinians to return from Libya
February 23, 2011
JERUSALEM (JTA) -- Israel will allow 300 Palestinians from Libya to come to the West Bank.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said late on Wednesday that "for humanitarian reasons" he had acceded to a request by Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas to allow the Palestinians to flee the unrest in the North African country for the West Bank.

More than a dozen countries sent airplanes to Libya to evacuate their citizens. Hundreds have been reported dead in protests calling for an end to Libyan leader Muammar Gadhafi's 41-year reign.

This is a welcome move in the direction of cooperation.

And further, now no one will be able to deny that there are at least 300 Palestinians in Palestine.

There goes the neighbourhood.

Thank you for posting, interesting news, why the need for the racist invective at the end?

"why the need for the racist invective at the end?"

You need to ask, Matt? The answer is in your question.

"now no one will be able to deny that there are at least 300 Palestinians in Palestine."

Sane and informed people with a grasp of logic most certainly do deny it:
(a) there is no mention of 'Palestine'.
(b) even if there were, a news service mention proves nothing.
(c) 'Palestinians' is used as a convenient shorthand. This says nothing about the existence of a 'Palestinian nation', which of course is a complete myth.
