Yesterday i met a Palestinian man living here in the North West England,and he told me that he was born in Kuwait,and lived there all his life.
After the Iraqi-Kuwait war,somehow the Kuwaiti officials decided that since Palestinians were supporters of Iraq,lets teach them a lesson.
According to the guy i was talking to,there were about 300,000 Palestinians living there and many of them were born in Kuwait.Regardless of where they were born,the Kuwaitis canceled or took away all the identification documents from ethnic Palestinians.
As a result they can't get any jobs,can't use any medical facility,can't marry and have no rights what so ever.In fact they don't exist.
This was ethnic cleansing,the Kuwaiti way.It started soon after the 1991 gulf war.Kuwaiti police can arrest them without any reason,kick them across the border into any neighboring country or lock them for indefinite period without trial.
I sometimes feel strange,about how we humans appear to consider ourselves as the creators/owners/custodians of a certain piece of land,and go below human standards to prove it.
