All the Jews who have been expelled from Gaza, Hebron, Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria from 1920 to 1948 have had all of their homes, lands, businesses, schools, belongings confiscated by the Arab leaders and Arab population.The "right of return" for Arabs into Israel has been done already by those Israel decided to allow back. Some have turned to murdering Jews in Israel.RE: All The News Anti-Israel Posters Will Not Read Or Discuss

You are asking the Israelis to put their sovereignty and territorial integrity at risk.
(COMMENT)The Palestinians do not ask for others to provide anything.• Fundamentally, positive rights require others to provide you with either a good or service.
The tension and mistrust between the Hostile Arab Palestinian (HoAP) and the Israelis, that has accumulated over the decades of violence have tainted and contaminated any attempt at a fair and just negotiation or settlement of disputes.
There is (absolutely) no reasonable expectation that the "Right of Return" (or anything remotely like it) could happen happen for several generations. Until the semior members of government come from a family that has no previous experience with the Arab-Israeli Conflict. And the parents of the prodigy of that generation haven't even been born yet.
Most Respectfully,

The other "right of return" they refer to, being that of 5 Million Arabs, mostly descendants of those who fought the Jews during the Independence war and left before it started or were expelled afterwards, will never happen.
There are about 20,000 living Arabs who actually fled or were expelled from Israel before, during or after the war.
NONE will be allowed to return.
Many who fled were not allowed back...were not violent, and had their land essentially confiscated through absentee landowner laws.
I don't see the Palestinians living in their homeland.RE: All The News Anti-Israel Posters Will Not Read Or Discuss

Well, actually, I was not talking about "Zionists."

❖ Not all Israelis are Jews.
❖ Not all Jews are Zionists.
❖ Not all Zionists are Settlers.
Each nation, state and territorial government has its own immigration laws and its own understanding as to what it means to be an "illegal alien."
There is no question about the following facts.
❖ The Allied Powers assumed the Title and Rights to the territory that was formerly under the Mandate.
❖ The Allied Powers agree that under the Ttile and Rights the assumed by Treaty Law, they would establish a Jewish national Home in the territory.
❖ The Allied Powers assume that under the Ttile and Rights the assumed by Treaty Law, to facilitate Jewish immigration under suitable conditions and shall encourage immigration to "all Jews who are willing to assist in the establishment of the Jewish National Home."
Where is the "illegal immigration" criteria?

What lawful entity actually stipulates that?
Zionism is the political movement for national liberation. This movement includes the belief that:
◈ The Jewish people have the right to self-determination.
◈ The Jewish people have the right to realize their self-determination.
◈ The Jewish people have a right to become a nation like any other nation.
These are not "terrorist view" but the views held currently under international law and expressed by the Arab Palestinian People.
IF it is the case that the "Zionists are a Terrorist Organization" → THEN it must be the case the Arab Palestinian are equally guilty.
On the matter of "racism," the Hostile Arab Palestinians (HoAP) derive this belief from A/RES/3379 (XXX) 10 November 1975 which Determines that zionism is a form of racism and racial discrimination. What the HoAP most often forget to disclose (intentionally) is that in A/RES/46/86 16 December 1991 the UN specifically corrected the error and decided to "revoke the determination contained in its resolution 3379 (XXX)of 10 November 1975." The HoAP do this to perpetuate the myths.

A "cult," by definition, is dealing with a religious belief directed towards a very specific idea. Zionism is NOT a religious belief structure; but a national liberation movement.
As you will note, Article 2, Section 1, The Constitution of the WZO updated November 2017, specifically speaks to the aims of Zionism secured under public law.
Most Respectfully,
RAnd, according to you, the Palestinians do not have rights.◈ The Jewish people have the right to self-determination.
◈ The Jewish people have the right to realize their self-determination.
◈ The Jewish people have a right to become a nation like any other nation.
The Palestinian people's have those same exact rights.
They just don't have the right to murder civilians. No one has that right.
There are Arab Israeli (Palestinian) citizens in Israel, there are Palestinians in West Bank and Gaza.
Is all set to right yet? No. But you can't say there are none living there.
Israel had the policy of uniting families. Those were the Arabs who were allowed to return.
"
There are Arab Israeli (Palestinian) citizens in Israel, there are Palestinians in West Bank and Gaza."
Of course there are.
"Is all set to right yet? No. But you can't say there are none living there."
Does not make sense. What do you mean?
Are you saying that Israel says that there were no Arabs living in Israel before 1948? Which source would say that?
Is all set to right? For the Arabs who were forced to flee by their Leaders or fought and were expelled? Yes.
Why Yes. Because all of the Jews expelled from Gaza to Hebron, to Jerusalem to Judea and Samaria are yet to see their lands and belongings and being allowed to return to their former lands and homes.
And let me not forget TranJordan, as since 1925, that is the first time Jews have not been allowed to reside in that part of their ancient homeland.
The right of return isn't multi generational - imo. Whether it is Jews or Arabs. On the other hand it is well documented that many Palestinians were not allowed to return (and not because of violent tendancies) and that confiscating their property was part of Israel's aim in growing their state. Let's not pretend otherwise, that was part of the purpose of those laws.
In terms of what I said "is all set to right yet" - what I meant was the conflict is ongoing, the Palestinians still do not have a state, autonomy, leadership or a voice that can speak for all. The Occupied/Disputed territories are not settled. But Palestinians DO live there...even if, in Area C they are squeezed into tiny discontinous areas.
