Flame of the WestNo they FLED voluntarily. They didn't happily give up their land. They fled. I don't think they had good cause to flee.. but thats in hindsight.

Ah... so first they have to acknowledge Israel's right to exist and then they have to acknowledge Israel's right to keep all Palestinians out of the land that Israel gained through either UN mandate or conquest and the forced deportation (or 'ethnic cleansing' as it is called nowadays) of the Palestinian residents.
Actually, the Palestinians left voluntarily in 1948.
And today's Palestinians are not the same people who left.Some of them are.. and the rest are the children of those who fled.
But yes, just as the Czech Republic gets to keep all the Sudeten Germans off their land. If you want to reverse all of the ethnic shifts of the mid 20th Century, you're in for a very messy time. Or do you want it to happen *only* to Israel?Only Israel has people camped on its borders in refugee camps for 50 years.
