P F Tinmore, et al,
There are three categories of theories opposed to the concept of the "right of return."
• The first is the dramatic shift in demographic it would cause the demise of the Jewish National Home, opening the Jewish People (unable to protect themselves) up to unnecessary persecution. The impact it would have economically and commercially.
• The development of another mediocre or fail state in the region; politically, economically/commercially, industrially. Leaving the precursors to the same set of conditions that gave rise to the Arab Spring.
• The threat the Palestinians poses in terms of radicalism and extremism, violence, and regional security destabilization.
No, my opinions are not simplistic at all. Merely simple to state.
"The pro-Palestinians and especially the pro-HAMAS (Islamic Resistance) are fond of using the argument that the rest of the world is with them. And vocally, that may be true. Yet these supporting countries, from all over the world, do not actually demonstrate, in any meaningful way, their support.
In October of 2014, international donors pledged billions of dollars in aid to help rebuild the Gaza Strip. What have we seen a year later? Only a small fraction of that aid has arrived donated. The longer these problems go unaddressed, the more likely becomes the prospect of another devastating war, officials say. (See:
The world promised billions to rebuild Gaza, but didn’t deliver. Why not? The GlobalPost, by Laura Dean,

America may not be the best ally the Palestinians have, but it is the most consistent ally they have. The US, was the largest single nation contributor to the Palestinian of any other donor nation; nearly matching the total contribution of the entire oil rich Arab League until the
There is a correlation to the amount Congress authorized for the Palestinians and the increase in the number of rockets fired from Gaza into Israel; particularly in the troubled years of 2007, 2012, and 2014.
It does not appear that in deeds, the rest of the world demonstrates any greater support of the Palestinians, then do the individual countries members of the Arab League.
Your opinion on the right of return is very simplistic and Israel centric.
(COMMENT)
There is no question that the Hostile Arab Palestinian poses a clear and present danger to both the security and integrity of Israel, as well as regional security. But it is just as important to note that the US has made its fair share in contributions to the Palestinians, as compared to the other major donor nations.
At least part of the reason for restrictions and countermeasures directed at Arab Palestinians is found in the reasonable acceptance of RISK. While the strategies and focus have changed over time, the extremist views and the conduct of hostile activities of the radical elements has not significantly changed. This to, supports the barriers to entry and the reduction of the threat. As of yet, the leadership of the Palestinian People has not yet demonstrated that they are seriously interested in peace. In fact,over the last two years, they have demonstrated the opposite. There is no reasonable expectation that the Arab Palestinians will make any significant and positive contribution to peace in the coming years.
The reasonable man, taking reasonable care, would not consider the Arab Palestinian at all for repatriation. The RISK is simply too great.
Most Respectfully,
