They have been with little attention outside the jewish community. If not for Israel they would be a people without a country.
Palestinians have the not just the PA and Gaza but their arab hosts and arab countries that tossed the jews out.
When jews are compensated for losses or allowed to return, perhaps more palestinians might find reunification programs opened up again. Till Camp David 2000 when reunification programs stopped, and Oslo where reentry and other programs began to slow down, an average of about two thousand palestinians a year used to be allow to enter and become citizens of Israel. Some of those included those applying or that have been awarded land deed cased in Israeli courts. Other through education and medical need, etc. also were allowed to live in Israel.
How are so many ignorant of what has been going on? I don't know why so little is taught in schools or published in papers................. it does not bleed so it does not leadf but still I would expect with the internet more about such programs would have been made available by now. I know about them from the camps and helping palestinians process the paperwork needed. Medical necessity entry was handled by doctors at gaza hospital.
Those jews settled in the new Israel which was their historic and religious homeland. Palestinians want to go back to land that was never a state of palestine, but jews cannot go back to the arab states.
Let arab states give palestinians land take from jews in their countries. They share a language, religion and are closer in culture than to the jews they force out.
The Palestinian and Jewish refugees are totally different and unrelated Issues. There is no reason whatsoever to involve the Palestinians.
If the Jews want the right to return they need to raise a stink like the Palestinians are.
