Palestinians told leave or risk death

Palestinians living in Iraq have been warned they will be killed by Shi’ite militias unless they leave the country immediately. Iraqi police say the immigrants, who are mostly Sunni Muslims, are the target of a backlash by hard-line Shi’ites, including members of the Mahdi Army led by Shi’ite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr.

So much for inclusiveness!

Now the Shi’ite militias are stepping up their campaign to drive out Iraq’s 15,000 remaining Palestinians — less than half the estimated 40,000 living in the country at the start of the war, all of whom were welcomed by Saddam Hussein and provided with housing, money and free education. Hundreds of Iraqis were forced to leave their homes to make way for the migrants, many of whom joined the ruling Ba’ath Party.

Oh, so it’s political and economic revenge time. Yes, true Islamic Brotherhood at work. Once again it illustrates the point that “paybacks are a bitch”.
