" the fact that the Arabs have occupied the area continually for thousands of years"

That is a bit of a "fairy tale" isn't it Christmas? Especially as the same could be said for certain Jews, but they were chased out but for some convoluted reasoning in your own mind they have no right of return.

Any idea what the qualifying criteria (UN) is to be classified as a "Palestinian" Arab with this automatic right of return? I think it would surprise you - absolutely astounds me.

You ask:

"What do you believe should happen to the 2.5 million Palestinians living in The West Banks and the 6.5 million refugees driven from their homes"

Well Christmas the same should have happened to them as happened to the 820,000 Jewish people forcibly deported and robbed of their property and possessions in the wake of the wars of 1948, 1956 and 1967. Those "Palestinian" Arabs should have been absorbed into the social fabric of the Arab countries who encouraged those "Palestinian" Arabs to fight instead of accepting the two-state solution that they were offered in 1947 by the United Nations.
