Of the original 16 refugee camps that were set up to r
ehabilitate more than 100,000 refugees crossing the border into Lebanon from Palestine, during the Nakba in 1947, only 12 official refugee camps still remain. Of those, the camp at Tal El-Za`tar was ethnically cleansed by Christian Phalange forces at the beginning of the 1975-1990 civil war, whereas Dikwaneh and Jisr el-Basha camps were destroyed by Israeli attacks & Lebanese militia. The remaining camps currently house more than half of Lebanon's 433,276 Palestinian refugees.
The current phase of indiscriminate shelling was launched by orders from pro- West ruling coalition, which claims that Fatah al-Islam group is a tool of Syrian intelligence and has sponsored criminal incidents & attacks on Lebanese troops through Fatah al-Islam, in order to destabilize the government. Oussama Safa, noted analyst on Lebanese affairs, said while talking to B&E from Beirut, “Fatah Al-Islam is a fringe group that has neither the support of Hezbollah nor the patronage of ordinary Palestinians. They are being helped by al-Qaeda in order to counter the influence and popularity of Hezbollah that draws its cadre from Shi'ite sect.” In the wake of Bush administration’s disastrous policy in the Middle-East & its profound assistance and encouragement for Israel to continue its bombarding of Lebanon last summer, the present situation in Lebanon mirrors, in many respects, the early 1980s when several fringe groups sprung up to resist the Israeli invasion & occupation. Nevertheless, there is a difference; rather than being Shi'ite and pro-Hezbollah; Fatah Al-Islam, and likes, are largely Sunni and anti-Hezbollah. Therefore, these fringe groups qualify for the US aid, that are funnelled by Sunni financial backers in league with the Bush administration that has decided to fund Sunni groups to weaken Hezbollah.
The emergence of Fatah Al-Islam is in reality a classic example of “blowback”; very similar to the growth of al-Qaeda as a result of the US support of Mujahiddin in Afghanistan.
