ZAATARI, Jordan — The water has mostly been removed from hundreds of flooded tents and the dirt paths that ran between them here in the region’s vastest camp of Syrian refugees. The clotheslines are laden with soggy sweaters and socks, waiting for the sun after a week of harsh wind, rain, and snow.
The residents are waiting, too: for the next winter storms and, many fear, for their own demise.

Why are these people called "refugees"? Why didn't the Arab governments of Syria, Lebanon and Jordan grant their grandparents citizenship after the 1948 Arab war against the Jews of Palestine? The answer is that the Arab governments, with the help of the UN, want to keep the Palestinian Arabs stateless in order to stoke the flames of Arab hatred of Israeli Jews.
