Up to now the Palestinians have insisted that all the refugees and their descendants, about 4 million people, must have the right to return to Israel.

That's a bald-faced lie.

Robert Malley on Camp David 2000: "And, while they [the Palestinians] 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."

In fact, this has been recognized for a long time. The words of UN Resolution 242 35 years ago: "For achieving a just settlement of the refugee problem". Anwar Sadat 35 years ago: "Compensation and a referendum on the future of the Palestinians, without reference to repatriation to their former homes in Israel" as a "reasonable way to solve the problem."
