Israel's refusal to allow the Palestinian refugees back is a violation of international law
Refugees have a moral and a legal right to return back to their homes
>>Under international law every Palestinian, roughly five to six million, has the right to return to their homes or the environs of their homes in Israel
-- Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, during the Camp David talks
>>Israel refuses to allow the Palestinian refugees back
>>Israel took the decision to not allow back the Palestinian refugees of the 1948 war
>>The expulsion of the indigenous population (Palestinians) was built into Zionism
>>Any influx of Palestinian refugees and their descendants (some 4.4 million people), would mean the end of Israel as a Jewish state
>>Only 10 per cent – around 300,000 people – of the Palestinian refugees want to return to Israel proper.
-- According to Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research in their first study of the Palestinian Diaspora's desires
>>Ethnic cleansing is [sometimes] justified
>>During the 1948 war the new state of Israel was emptied of at least 80 per cent of its indigenous population.
>>A Jewish state could not have arisen with a vast Arab minority—40, almost 50, percent of its population being Arabs—which opposed the existence of that Jewish state and opposed their being a large minority in that state.
>>Ben-Gurion didn’t go far enough in completing the ethnic cleansing in 1948, he should have removed as much as possible of the non-Jewish population all the way to the Jordan River.
