Dear Yachad, where do you stand on the so-called “Right of Return” for the Palestinian refugees?
No Palestinian leader has ever flagged the intention to give up with such a request, nor even the “moderates”, those you appear publicly with.
You, Yachad, speak of “demographic threat”: you are persuaded (and I agree with you) that the world needs a State with a Jewish majority, where Jews can find shelter. But the Palestinians disagree. They believe they have the right to “return” inside Israel -not inside the ANP administrated territories. When they speak in Arabic, they make no mystery of what they want to achieve with such a “return”. Since the Oslo Accords diplomats and negotiators have deluded themselves, it was possible to postpone discussing this matter. But the Palestinian leaders are clear, do not want to negotiate, and won’t accept any compensation. Return is what they want, and the end of Jewish self-determination is part of their agenda.
