The same right of return that Jews have.

The "right of return" issue can easily be diffused by offering monetary compensation, funded by the US and Europe. If such a proposal is put forth along with proposed amounts, the issue will disappear very quickly and the path to peace become much easier. I am not talking about aid to the new Palestinian state, but direct compensation to individual families that does not go through any Palestinian authority.

Zeev,

Most people are easily confused by all the rhetoric going back and forth on CNN and other major news outlets daily. My only wish is that just one rhetorical question would be asked daily from this point on:

WHEN (IF EVER) IS THE LAST TIME CITIZENS OF ISRAEL DETONATED THEMSELVES IN A PUBLIC PLACE AND BY SO DOING KILLED INNOCENT MEN, WOMEN AND CHILDREN OF ANY NATION?

If the major news organizations would just keep asking that question all the confusion would eventually go away, because the truth of what keeps precipitating the actions of both parties would eventually become crystal clear.

One is an action by one party and the other is a reaction to that action.

Not by way of an excuse, but the reaction of one party right now happens to be survival.

If the major news organizations could emphasize the intolerance of the "action" of one party,(namely the killing of innocents) I have no doubt that we could automatically stop the "reaction" of the other.
