Given the present Arab population of Israel, "nobody had the right to take away the Palestinians' right to remain exactly where they were prior to the creation of the state of Israel. " Does not make much sense. Who took those rights away? Note the statement upon creation of Israel:
"We appeal ... to the Arab inhabitants of the State of Israel to preserve peace and participate in the upbuilding of the State on the basis of full and equal citizenship and due representation in all its provisional and permanent institutions. "

Israel is the ONLY country in the region that HAS accepted those Arabs who lived in Mandate Palestine Territory west of the Jordan river as citizens. Or do you think those camps that the Palestinians have been living in represent "citizenship" ?
