Seeing as how most of those refugees are probably dead by now, the claim is a bogus one. I have no right to live somewhere just because my grandparents did. “Palestinians who became refugees in the 1948 Mideast war”.

The Arab League leadership has been explicit that Egypt and Jordan are two Arab League members visiting Israel on their own to explain the elements of the plan. They are most decidedly not an Arab league mission. Besides, the Arab League is not offering to make peace with Israel. They are supposedly offering to accept the peace Israel makes with the Palestinian Arabs if they agree with the terms. Israel could give up this, that, and the other, and the Arab League could simply walk away sneering, "Not enough!" It's still the Three Noes of Khartoum, and I believe Israel should return the rejection: no peace with a genocidal enemy, no recognition of their illegitimate governments, no negotiation with liars.

That way they can show the world that they ar pouring <i>water</i> into the bucket and blame Israel when it complains that "the bucket is empty" Actually it is an old oaken bucket

“There’s a hole in the bucket” …

Why is there a complete media blackout of the fact that hundreds of thousands of Jews were exiled from Arab lands with only their clothing on their back?
