well, here is my unique perspective - z is right especially about 2nd part but he is wrong about the question. Your question was not the way they were relocated but rather how come they were there in the 1st place, am I wrong? Were they immigrants like jews or natives of the land.... Your whole discussion on who are and are not natives of the land and why they are there is not key to my solution. I believe, and based on your own numbers you also believe, that the land has traditionally been a multi-ethnic, multi-religious region. That came to an end with the foundation of Israel, a Jewish homeland, and then begins the never ending cycle of violence. If you say all (or most) of the Palestinian refugees are descendants of Arabs who migrated there at some point in the period 1850 to 1940, that's fine with me, and really has little bearing on how to solve the conflict. It does seem hard to imagine this was a virtually unpopulated bit of land (b)bordering the Meditteranean sea but that's not the key to solving the conflict. You are arguing with someone who claims the Palestinians are more entitled to the land than the Israelis. I'm not making that claim. My argument is that both should be entitled to live on the land as equals. And my point is that that solution (over the long term, after the current generations die off and forget that they have been taught to hate each other) has a chance for peace and harmony, whereas the current situation has little chance for long term peace, as far as I can tell.
