Thousands of Palestinians Leave the Territories
[Globe and Mail-Canada] Mark MacKinnon - 10,000 Palestinians have left the territories in the past four months alone. A recent study by Bir Zeit University found that 32 percent of Palestinians, and 44 percent of young Palestinians, would emigrate if they could. "I want to get out - to Canada, to Norway, to Switzerland, to Nigeria even," said Fadi el-Fahr, 24. "Before, when we had a [Fatah] government, there were many opportunities, because [Abbas] had good relations with many countries. The problems came when the new Islamic government came and America did not support it," said Ahmed Abu Radi, 23.
