Description:
"We want to go home," an Arab schoolboy writes on the blackboard in a refugee
camp in Hebron. This longing to return to homes in Palestine is the dominant,
almost-exclusive desire of 850,000 Arab refugees in camps scattered from
Egypt to the Lebanon (except in Israel, where their former homes are). (World
