How do you think the Irish got to own Ireland? Then, when they went to America, how do you think they acquired land there? They didn't buy it from the local yokels as the Jews did in Palestine until World War I set the carnage up leading to World War II which then resolved to dividing up the place so that Jews could make a country where they had become established.

The problem is where to go from here. You cannot rewind the clock to how things once were. That era is finished. "Right of return" doesn't mean anything because the people who left Israel in 1948 as adults are now mostly dead.

I can't reasonably expect a right of return to where my ancestors fled from. China isn't going to give me back my property. Alsace has changed hands a couple of times and it's not mine.
