Hi @AIJAC_Update, I'm not a refugee merely because "I inherited the status of refugee". I'm a refugee because I'm quite literally a refugee. I have a Norwegian travel document *for refugees*, which says, under nationality, "Stateless". Thank you very much. aijac.org.au/australia-isra…
Also I don't have a "comfortable life". I actually have a very uncomfortable life. Also, my Jaffa-born father, who was born a refugee, is now (again) a refugee in Malaysia and is suffering from severe PTSD thank you very much.
Please stop using the stories of our trauma, resilience, survival, and success to punctuate your own conversations about our continued alienation and the denial of our historical rights. Regards, a stateless Palestinian *refugee*.
Finally here's a picture of my family (well, my father's family) when they arrived to Port Said in Egypt as *refugees* in 1948. No, they didn't leave "voluntarily". My father is the toddler. He turned 71 last month.
