One of the horrible things about being stateless is that you are a flying Dutchman, never assured of being able to live in your own home. Being stateless, you have no state and no citizenship in anything. It means that you don’t have firm title to your own property, because you have no access to the courts (which are foreign).

The instability of refugee life is demonstrated again by what is happening to the families who were forced out of what is now Israel and who fled to Syria, are now being displaced yet again by the war. They are fleeing to Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon.
