Before the "official" war even started, Israelis captured arab towns and villages outside the partition lines. You fail to mention these ugly truths. You fail to mention the different plans of "Transfer" and eviction the occurred.

You argue that the right of return is againts the legal basis of partion plan, yet you fail to cite where it is that this plan stipulated the ethnic cleansing of palestinians to accomodate a jewish majority. The partition plan created a home land for jews but did not give the jews the right to expell and deny the majority owners of the land from their homes. In fact, countless resolutions had been passed explicitly calling for the right of return. The admittance of Israel as a member state to the united nations was conditional on Israel meeting it's legal obligations to allow the natives of palestine their freedom.
