Oh, I see. The Jews can return after 3000 years, but the Pals can't after 70?"
The Palestinian right of return (Arabic: حق العودة, Ḥaqq al-ʿawda; Hebrew: זְכוּת הַשִׁיבָה, zkhut hashivah) is a political position or principle asserting that Palestinian refugees, both first-generation refugees (c. 30 to 50,000 people as of 2012) and their descendants (c. 5 million people as of 2012), have a right to return, and a right to the property they themselves or their forebears left behind or were forced to leave in what is now Israel and the Palestinian territories (both formerly part of the British Mandate of Palestine), as part of the 1948 Palestinian exodus, a result of the 1948 Palestine war and due to the 1967 Six-Day War.
Proponents of the right of return hold that it is a "sacred" right,[3] as well as an inalienable and basic human right, whose applicability both generally and specifically to the Palestinians is protected under international law.[4] This view holds that those who opt not to return or for whom return is not feasible, should receive compensation in lieu. Opponents of the right of return hold that there is no basis for it in international law, and that it is an unrealistic demand.[5]
The government of Israel regards the claim as a Palestinian ambit claim, and does not view the admission of Palestinian refugees to their former homes in Israel as a right, but rather as a political claim to be resolved as part of a final peace settlement.[6][7]"

There can be NO agreement until this demand is dropped by the Palestinians.
There were Jews living in Algeria, and Libya and other ME countries who were thrown out at the time of the war. They were Jews, but they were not in Israel at the time so they couldnt even be considered Israelis. They were just Jewish. What would a Jewish family living in Morroco have to do with the Israeli Arab warCan their families get their land back? no way, they would most likely be killed even if they did. Its just the way it is, and Lost Jewish land is never mentioned, thats because the Entire ME is Muslim. So many places for a muslim to live in safety (except from each other) and so few places in the world for a Jew to live safely. Most of Europe does not want Jews, that has a LOT to do with why they went to Israel, they had been persecuted for hundreds of years there , not even mentioning the Holocaust.
I have put forward a plan to give the arab muslims two acres of stolen Jewish land in the M.E in return for 1 acre of land in gaza and the west bank. Not one of the team Palestine members think that it is a good idea as the arab muslims would lose all they claim and some. Because the amount of land stolen in 1948-1949 amounts to 4 times the land mass of the original Palestine.
Do you have some links to that?
