Thread Name: BS: A Palestinian State?
Subject: RE: BS: A Palestinian State?
Nickhere, that's not my logic. In my eyes, there is no right to return for offspring. Therefore there was no "right to return" for Jews as well.
Your answer to my question shows you do not understand a vital difference: Of course, there is migration all over the world and people find new homes, permanently or for some time. That's something completely different from the "right to return" Palestinians and German Neonazis mean: The right to throw out the occupants of the forefathers' houses and lands for whom since roughly sixty years this is home.
No one prevents a German to take up residence in Poland. But I hope good sense and love of peace prevents Germans from throwing out Poles and Czechs just because 60 years ago some ancestor had ownership of a bit of land.
Dianavan, I see you are asking the relevant question. No, these people have not been confined to camps (except for a short time in some cases). That's why in Europe there is peace and in Palestine there isn't. Those who have confined the Palestinians to camps (the neighbouring countries with Palestinian populations) are those who are guilty in this respect. They did not opt for peace when they could.
