Some argue that the Palestinians must accept the settlements.

If so, how can Israel reject the Right of Return?

I think you can't have it both ways. If Arabs must accept Jews, then mustn't Jews accept Arabs?

And if not, why not?

Say what? The settlements are there already - in some cases have been there for a generation, or even longer, if they were rebuilding settlements destroyed by the Jordanians in 1948. Likewise, the MILLION Arab citizens of Israel are already there. No one is demanding that the million Arab citizens of Israel leave. So why should the settlers? Likewise, no one is demanding that the new state of Palestine accept unlimited immigration from Jews who want to return to the land of anscestors. So why should Israel have to accept unlimited immigration from Arabs who want to return to the land of their ancestors?
