(Argentina will take some, too). The Palestinians are the eternal Boat People. It would have been better for them to be able to go home than to a Portuguese speaking country half way around the world. But, well, Rio is rather better than three years in a tent in the desert, and at last they are no longer stateless. But on what will they live? It would be nice to send them some charity. If anybody knows how, please post in comments. (Brazilian Red Cross e.g.?)<BR/><BR/>Below I list a number of Palestinian organizations who will be able to give you the info. I did receive a mail from one group when they had a positive answer from their efforts in trying to find states willing to take in Palestinians.<BR/>I can assure you that they worked very hard and I wish them the best.<BR/>AL-AWDA-News@yahoogroups.com<BR/>tadamon@resist.ca<BR/>Mazin Qumsiyeh [qumsi001@hotmail.com]<BR/>Palestine and Peace [digest@anti-bias.com]<BR/>PLO Mission to the USA [plomission1@aol.com]<BR/>palsolidarity@googlegroups.com; <BR/>ISM Media Group [media@palsolidarity.org]<BR/>pal [info@palestiniangd.org.uk]<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately no one is willing to help Hisham - This child is only 9 years old.
