>It also calls for a ''just solution'' to the refugee problem based on U.N. resolutions that say Palestinians should be allowed to return home or receive compensation. Recognition of the right of refugees to return to land they lost in Israel has been a long-standing Arab demand; the term ''just solution'' appeared to leave room for negotiations. If I'm not mistaken, that language is only mimicking the language of a UN resolution about the topic. Now, another thing to bring into play here, as long as we're talking about refugees. There were 600,000 Palestinian Arabs who left or were kicked out of Israel between WWI and the Israel War of Independence. During that time, there were also 500,000 Jewish refugees from Arab countries who were either expelled or left because they were being abused and slaughtered. Each of those Jews had land and property taken away. As you might expect, the Jews in the Arab lands had more wealth and land than the Arabs in Palestine did. Therefore, there was more taken away by the Arabs from the Jews than the Jews got from the Arabs. Call it even? The Jews owe the Arabs nothing. Also, as I said earlier, many of the Palestinian refugees have signed away their right to anything but Israeli land in compensation. -Z
