US set to announce it rejects Palestinian ‘right of return’[W:39]

There isn't some internationally recognized "right of return". There's no right of return to the Sudeten Germans and none for the hundreds of thousands of Jews ethnic cleansed from Arab countries during the Israeli war of independence. What you're referring to is an Israeli law. Big difference. Countries are allowed to create their own laws. If it wasn't for Israeli law stating that Jews are allowed to return to their ancestral homeland, there wouldn't be anyone who would recognize such right of return.
So you're mixing two different things here.

I was talking about the moral principle enshrined in law. I assume that return of Palestinians-is impractical, but I don’t understand Israel’s long term plans for dealing with the situation, given its settlement policy, which seems against its interests.

I guess you are talking about 850.000 Jews that came to Israel after they were expelled from Arab countries right?

Uh huh. I think i get it from you guys.

Jews are ok as long as they are on the bottom. If they do not put those who want to destroy them above themselves, they are “supremacist”.

No you don't get it even if you think you do.

The Jews have their state and their self determination and good luck to them for it

The Palestinians have neither and are suffering under racist Jewish supremacist policies and you wish to keep them there unless they capitulate to every Jewish demand, negate their every right in order to get a something or nothing state that will have no future .

The complete rejectionism in your post on every point of contention imo puts you in the very same bracket as the extremist Palestinian elements you denounce.

Instead of addressing the points made in the post I submitted you have decided to drift into the wholly predictable realm of Jewish victimhood and the not so veiled resort to the antisemite card . Always a sure sign that the points that are to be ignored have validity

Nope, as I said , the article in the OP was incorrect when it claimed that those Palestinians not allowed to return to their homes after the 1947-49 conflict numbered in the " tens of thousands " when the real figure was in the hundreds of thousands .............. as confirmed in the wiki link you have now provided. Correct ?

Having read back the article might be referring to those still alive from the 1948 era...................so my insistence on the accuracy of figures is probably misplaced

Yeah, not so sure they are interested in returning to be persecuted in Iraq, for example.

So again, what you are “offering” is worthless and just a different way of telling them they are on their own and defenceless. So thanks for nothing, really. That’ll be a no. The Israelis will keep their liberal democracy with a rule of law, human rights, freedoms and religious liberty.

Anyone remember back when the U.S. stayed the hell out of other peoples' business? Nope, me neither. It's nice to dream, though.

Yea going back to their houses and business in Arab countries, sound realistic.
Fortunately, Israel didn't put them in "refugee camp" in order to use them as political key and prevent them from becoming citizens, because that would be cynical exploitation of the people.
