When will we stop calling these 50 year old settlements in Gaza "regugee camps"? They are cities, towns, or villages....not camps!
The Gaza belongs to them...this is their homes. The connotation of "refugee camps" is a political misnomer and an attempt of the press to stimulate negative Israeli response in the readers.
