"......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?" HE WILL NEVER NEVER ANSWER THIS QUESTION just as the others who spend their time demonizing Israel. They can't because it destroys their argument and points to their biases. I am human too. I have biases. Sometimes facts get in the way of beliefs i have held. Sometimes i am slow to react or just act but i always do react and adapt. These dudes don't and won't. mike

I wonder who is going to vindicate their rights, the Rights Fairy? Without competent courts, rules of procedure, and a willingness to enforce decisions arrived at after litigation, there are no enforceable rights, only claims. Either the Israeli Government will make the final determination on such claims, or an independent panel will be appointed to do so. But even such an independent panel needs the cooperation of the Israeli government, unless it is the intention of marcos to occupy Israel to enforce alleged Palestinian rights. In the end, then, nothing will be settled without the participation of Israel, and, therefore, such matters are part of the final negotiation leading to peace between the two peoples, assuming such a thing comes to fruition.
