This book investigates the social and political orientation of
ordinary Lebanese citizens toward the Palestinian presence in
Lebanon, as well as the Palestinian refugees' perceptions of their
situation and status. Of all the countries hosting Palestinians,
Lebanon confronts probably the most sensitive and serious problems.
After two decades of civil war, the Palestinian presence has been
the subject of much controversial debate. Large-scale resettlement
would further erode the country's precarious demographic
composition, and for a multi-confessional state that recognizes the
primacy of religious communities, Palestinian refugee resettlement
policy must satisfy all communities to be workable. In particular,
most Lebanese groups should see resettlement as benefiting Lebanese
society and in line with their country's national interest. Current
minimal social integration and weak inter-communal bonds between
Lebanese and Palestinian groups are a major obstacle to achieving
resettlement wit
