I see........the Palestinians graciously left their homeland so that the homeless Zionists could move in. Strangely enough, the Palestinians have a different version. Right, and you believe the Palestinians, the same ones that talk of Israel willfully giving AIDS to Palestinian children and putting uranium in Palestinian water and killing thousands in Jenin... I believe in a neutral third party's historical accounting of the events that led the Palestinians into refugee camps. No where does it say that the Palestinians left their property so that the Zionists could have it. The term is "right of return" and the Israelis refuse to even discuss the concept. They're fine with a "right of return" to the West Bank, but not to Israel. For them to accept it would be to accept the destruction of Israel. Period. No, it isn't. Its a negotiating point that the Israelis refuge to acknowledge. No one expects the Israelis to give Israel back to the Palestinians. Right of return is about getting back their property, or at least receiving compensation for the property Israel confiscated, and not about returning Israel to the Palestinians. Not true. Not true at all. Well, I'm exaggerating -- some Palestinians do see it as that now, but that's not the reason it was formulated in the '70s. So do we stay with the definition from the 70s, or do we evolve? When the UN promised the Zionists their own state, they also promised that the Palestinians could have their state as well. Where is that state? It was divided up among Israel, Jordan, and Egypt after the 1948 war, where the Arab states attacked Israel. They were unhappy with Israel having any of the land. Why did Jordan and Egypt not establish a Palestinian homeland during the 20 years they held the West Bank and Gaza? Because they wanted all of the land, including Israel. I am talking about before the 1948 war........about the UN partition. The Palestinian portion has never been acknowledged nor turned into a state. In fact, over the years, Israel has whittled away at it. And frankly, Jordan and Egypt have not treated the Palestinians much better than the Israelis. However, now, Israel holds all the cards. ted
