Return IF they actually had lived there...not down through the generatations. And keep in mind, if you regard it as a generational right it would have to include tbe rights of Jews to return as well.One of the most basic concept of international law is that the people belong to the land.
Many parts of international law like aggression, ethnic cleansing, conquest, territorial integrity hinge on this basic concept.
Refugees belong to the land and must be allowed to return. Descendants have the right to return because they do not belong anywhere else. Other countries are not required to absorb refugees because they do not belong there. Nationality is determined by where you belong.
Nationality is determined by the domestic laws of individual nations. It is, for ease of explanation, a contract between a State and its citizens. Countries are not required to absorb refugees because they have no relationship with those people, let alone mutual obligations. Laws against statelessness require that when a person would otherwise be stateless, the become a national of the country in which they were born.
The idea of people belonging to a land is nonsense.
Well is it totally?
If a country takes control of an area - do the people there not come with it? If a stateless person becomes a national in of the country they were born in then that means those refugees born in the country they fled from would be nationals of it, but unable to return to it.
There is also a moral aspect. People belonging to a land and a land belonging to a people are interchangeable in a sense, in the way people feel about a land. Isn't it what drives indigenous rights to a place? For that matter - the rights of any long standing native peoples?Indeed.There is also a moral aspect.

I have said before that a people and their land are married. They cannot be separated. The UN was correct to pass resolution 194. The people should return to their homes.

So what is the magical date?
That is the problem here. Factions are full of magical dates.
There is a magical date after which people are not given a right of return.
There is a magical date after which people are not allowed to call themselves a people.
There are magical dates after which or before which people are denied the right to identify with a land .
Everyone is an invader but these magical dates, moving targets, serve to make them righteous.
So what is the nagical where upon one is given or denied a "right" of return?
How many have not?One of the most basic concept of international law is that the people belong to the land.

On the other hand, few if any European Zionists have any ancestors from that area. "Return" is an unusual term to use. So it isn't just a matter of time.
And besides, the Zionists were not immigrants.
