I think all people who lost their homes in the conflict should have the right to reclaim their homes. Not just a select few.
Sure. So, in your mind it is morally imperative to restore people to their property -- even if that means creating new humanitarian concerns. I get that. So you agree with this eviction, then. That's cool.
I am not sure I entirely agree with you. I think it is problematic. I, personally, think it would be better to use financial compensation as a means of redress. In other words -- a restoration in principle but not in actuality. I think that would prevent further wrongs being committed.
But I think both of our opinions are colored by the political goals we hold. And I think that is true generally in the conflict. I think it is easy for you to hold the opinion that people should be physically restored because it supports the political goal of Arab domination in the territory. And I think it is easy for me to hold the opinion that financial restoration is enough, because the Jewish refugees can not be restored in physical space as easily.
