Elroy you are dense today. Regardless of the people rented or owned they are considered part of a nation. According to you any American that rent and not own a home of piece of land is NOT American and have not right in America. Is there a reason you don't answer two simple questions about your claim the Pal refugees should have the right to return to "their land"? Message 24007004 The Palestinian refugees should have the right to return to their land. If you think that really makes any sense, please tell me 1- What % of the original Pal refugees actually had land ownership stolen from them? For example, someone who rented a flat and ran away during the fighting didn't lose any land. What % of the original refugee population had land stolen? 2- What % of today's Pal refugees have even lived in the land today called Israel? Most of them weren't even alive when Israel came into formation, so how many of today's "Pal refugees" previously lived in the land now called Israel? Or do you think everyone on the planet should have the right to live where their grandparents lived, regardless of land ownership? They should have that right, because.....they are a nation? Sarman, that's dopey. This is not - Palestinians should not have the right to return to somewhere that they have never lived and where their grandparents may have lived, but didn't own land. That's not dopey - that's common sense. You can make a claim that people who's property was stolen are entitled to reparations (maybe, goodluck!), but that is a small, small, single digit percentage of today's Pal refugees. The idea that millions of people should be able to live somewhere JUST BECAUSE their ancestors did is nuts, and a recipe for planetary chaos.
