That's such a bullshit argument, that people fleeing from war should lose all rights, and it's a cornerstone of the zionist position regarding palestinians They should get compensation, but the reality for the vast majority of the 100 million refugees is that they didn't get to go home. The 300,000 Jewish dps from Europe didn't. The 700,000 Jews tossed out of the Arab lands didn't. The 14 million displaced by the partition of India didn't. So why do you demand that a different set of rules be written for the Palestinian Arabs alone? The natural outcome was that the Arab countries and Israel should have agreed to the exchange of population. The British in fact negotiated this deal, and the Arab countries signed it in 1949. But then they reneged. They cared so deeply for their Palestinian "brothers" that they decided to keep them refugees forever, and got the UN to pay for it in perpetuity. That's the real difference.
