OK, when is Israel going to return the land to the Palestinian refugees?What are you talking about? Who trades what land?
Well, for one example, giving the Sinai back. That was a HUGE leap of Faith in their fellow man. Who happened to be muslims who had recently waged war against them in an attempt to destroy them.
Sinai was acquired through conquest in a war started by the Israelis who were attempting to destroy the Egyptians. As you well know, gaining territory by conquest goes counter to international law. The Palestinians gained nothing.
'Helms was awakened at 3:00 in the morning on 5 June by a call from the CIA Operations Center. The Foreign Broadcast Information Service had picked up reports that Israel had launched its attack. (OCI soon concluded that the Israelis— contrary to their claims—had fired first.) President Johnson was gratified that because of CIA analyses and Helms's tip, he could inform congressional leaders later in the day that he had been expecting Israel's move."

Nothing of what you posted above changes the fact that the Israelis gave back the Sinai for promises of peace.
What does the Sinai have to do with the Palestinians?
Your attempt to pretend that the wider Arab World is not part of the Arab Israeli Conflict is dismissed as dishonest garbage.
My point was that trading land for peace is proof of a strong desire for peace.
That point stands.
NOTHING you have said, challenges it.
