No one, not even the Palestinians, are insisting that "Israel must take back every single one" of the 750,000 refugees that were driven out of their homes in '47. All they are asking is that the Palestinians, who have, like Native Americans, been driven into smaller and smaller parcels of land, have a state of their own with contiguous borders to Israel. The demographics alone argue for this, as Israel can not sustain the occupation much longer. <br /><br />The answer is simple and has been for some time - Israel retreats to the '67 borders, dismantling the illegal settlements on the West Bank, builds their wall along that border, offer to pay reparations for the land and homes they took in exchange for reparations from Arab states who drove Jews out of their countries in retaliation for the expulsion of Palestinians from their homes, and the way is paved toward a settlement of a conflict that has gone on far too long with too many lives lost. <br /><br />Unfortunately people like Walid are encouraging an eternal conflict with their demand that Israel be given the right to take as much land as they choose to take and perpetuate the occupation.ISCZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10968460619712555871noreply@blogger.com
