Independent Media Center, Israel http://indymedia.org.il When History Repeats Itself, Again And AgainWednesday 06 Mar 2002 author: Sam Bahour and Michael Dahan (sbahour@palnet.com, mdahan@attglobal.net) summary The first Palestinian refugee camps are a product of the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948. In 1967, when Israel militarily occupied the West Bank, Gaza Strip and East Jerusalem a second wave of Palestinian refugees was created. Today, Ariel Sharon and his government are creating a third wave of Palestinian refugees by attacking those very same refugees that, decades ago, fled for their lives and have been living under illegal Israeli occupation ever since.
