have you considered the international implications of the "right of return"

Robert Malley was an integral part of Camp David, and he says the Palestinians were extremely moderate on this issue:

"And, while they insisted on recognition of the refugees' right of return, they agreed that it should be implemented in a manner that protected Israel's demographic and security interests by limiting the number of returnees."

When a country engages in an aggression whose goals is to gain territories (in this case the complete elimination of the state of Israel), it should accept the risk that if it loses, it will lose some territories.

Last time I checked, the Palestinians did not engage in aggression against Israel. There was a battle between some neighboring Arab countries and Israel. The varying accounts state that either the Jews drove the Palestinians out or that the invading Arabs told them to clear out. I have not heard even the most biased Zionist claim that the Palestinians were the ones who launched this war. You are truly breaking new ground here.
