"Right to return"
If you read your history books rather than relying on point-scoring cut-n-pastes you wouldf know that there was a war prior to the signing of the peace treaty in 1949 in which atrocities where committed on both sides
While the British were leaving Palestine, Israeli 'Freedom Fighters' were clearing the way for the new Israeli State by tossing hand-grenades into occupied homes.
The terms of the Treaty were designed to end all dispute and both sides agreed and signed it, so the agreed borders were, are, and will remain the legal one until new ones are drawn up
Stop ******* fighting historical battles by taking your line from the Israeli Press) and deal with what is happening now

There is a conference going on at the present time - if there is a "suppression" of news by the media would be refreshing to think that they are cooperating in order to bring about an acceptable settlement
However:

The suppression doesn't seem very effective waddya think?

The Palestinians have pledged themselves to the conference.
The Israelis have announced an expansion of settlements
When Palestine was granted limited membership of the U.N. the immediate Israeli reaction was to announce an increase in settlements   
Who are the peacemakers - take your pick - oh, you already have.
