[palilover 1]

anyways now I'm paranoid. If I'm supposed to fit in by helping in the kitchen, then if they dont accept that, is it because they think I'm no good? My sister in law in America says EVERY DAY that I was there how good arab women are and how no good American women are because American women don't cook the way arabs do. And she always talking about how her kids come home from their friend's house and have maceroni and cheese and talking bad about american women. She seems to forget that American women have a lot more responsibility OUTSIDE of the home and we are expected to work! But she only just recently got a job to support herself so she does not know any different than having someone else support her. But anyways....if the woman dont accept me to help them cook cuz I'm amreican how else am I supposed to fit in?

This is why I need my husband to be with me all the time to defend me against them if they are going to do or say something bad. My husband wehn someone does not understand something defends me or is a diplomat and breaks up arguments or heps us understand each other. Without my husband I'm helpless:) And even more, no one there has the right to judge me if I want to be with my husband. Those women get to sleep with their husbands everyday. No one there was torn apart like we were so who are they to judge? My husband and I both want to be together (no matter what country) and we have not been given a chance to because someone or something is always in the way:(((

But I want to clarify one thing -- people from refugee camps are individuals, just like anyone else. Not everyone from the camps are hooligans who "don't know any other way" than to fight over a bus seat. Sweeping generalizations are sad, too, as well as offensive.

I wasnt generalizing. I was speaking about that one individual only.

*This* is what you said:

oh....big refugee camp:( Hm....well I would say I could "adopt" a family, but if word gets out that one family has sheep and the rest none? I dont want to be there to see the results!! I got to witness one of thsoe guys fighting over a seat on the bus of all things on our way out of Palestine. I video taped it because it was amusing. (I had to hide my camera though because the Israeli security had to come on and break up the fight). I did not know he was from a reugee camp though or what they were fighting about. My husband began talking to him and found out he was from a refugee camp in Lebanon and he was visitng his wife in Jordan and he had to go through Palestine for some reason to get out as he could not get on a plane and fly to JOrdan from Lebanon. But when my husband said he was from a refugee camp, then i felt bad about my "amusement" My husband said the guy was stupid for fighting over a seat but I said dont you know, those people probably fight for a lot more than bus seats in their daily life so they don't know any other way. (

If you mean one guy, you say "he," not "they."

By the way, this story makes no sense. Palestinian refugees in Lebanon are not permitted to cross into Israel -- that border has been closed for a long time, and is strictly controlled by Israel.

I dont know any organizations in Palestine. But I think it is not hard to be charitable in Palestine though. There are a lot of women begging in the streets in Ramallah the last time I was there. I'm sure they would like a meal or something

Ask around -- there are plenty of mosques, hospitals, schools, and more that can help you find a suitable recipient for your donation.

Times are very very very hard in Palestine right now, especially for the weak, ill, and/or aging. There are people reduced to begging in every town, even in the small villages, but more in the larger cities of course. My husband always gave them something -- even if he was down to only 15 shekels in his pocket, he would never pass without giving.
