TOM ROLLINS Published: 31/10/2014 05:43 PM Palestinian-Syrians and eternal exile beyond Yarmouk While Syrians have a difficult enough time finding refuge abroad, Palestinian-Syrian refugees face additional obstacles, such as denied access to territory and forcible return In MiG, a short film produced by Syrian film collective Bidayyat, a Palestinian-Syrian man remembers December 16, 2012 – the day when [Yarmouk] was attacked by the Syrian regimes MiGs, as a punishment for sheltering displaced Syrians and Palestinians who lost their neighborhoods due to previous attacks. Metaphor and reality elide. Pigeons are displaced from the skies by military aircraft; elderly Palestinian women carry their belongings on their shoulders, towards another displacement, history repeated. Like Palestinian communities around the region (Kuwait and Iraq, or Lebanon and Gaza before that), the Palestinian refugees of Yarmouk camp and the rest of Syria have experienced multiple displacements. https://now.mmedia.me/lb/en/reportsfeatures/564331-palestinian-syrians-and-eternal-exile-beyond-yarmouk
