So? What exactly are you trying to imply? That the Declaration does not apply to Palestinians from that time? I think you will find that opinion is incorrect; the relevant laws mention nothing about a starting date. Not only that, but the Palestinians have been supported on numerous occasions by resolutions so your point is quite invalid indeed.
nonsense. It is "mythical" because it has never actually existed anywhere for anyone else. indians and pakistanis? Nope. Sudeten Germans? Nope. Palestinians - ABSOLUTE RIGHT!!!
Please stop referring to the right of return as 'mythical'. It is shameful to hear someone debating the Israeli side try to go down this road when Israel themselves have their own, truly mythical right of return based on no more than a 2000 year old claim to the land and religious texts.
uh-huh. Israel's law of return, similar to that in place in many many countries aroudn the world, is a domestic law passed by a sovereign parliament establishing criteria for immigration. The Palestinians' "right of return" is a made up right that no one else has that was designed and is clung to with such ferocity because it is THE weapon the Palestinians want to use to destroy Israel as the Jewish national home.
We all know this to be the case, so you can just drop the act.
And the right of return supersedes any national laws of immigration.
It would were it not completely fictional. And if rights actually made the slightest bit of difference.
If the Palestinians want their own idnependent state, fine. Accept one. But if they insist on destroying Israel too, with respect, **** them. They get nothing.
And you can pretend you care about them all you like, insisting on "rights" and "justice" and rainbows. But here in real life you have a small group of people, who have a worldwide base of like 15 million people and who saw one third of their population systematically murdered (with the wholehearted support of the palestinian leadership, incidentally), laying claim to sovereignty over a sliver of territory and declaring they will never again be left at the mercy of others to protect them.
On the other side, you have a subset of the wider population that tried to finish the job, who have been offered territory and independence on repeated occassions whio continually reject those offers, launch terrorist attacks against civilians, and refuse to contemplate any sort of end of conflcit that would allow those Jews to maintain sovereign control over that sliver of territory.
And then you have the "enlightened" international left, pretending to be fixated on "rights" and "law" and "justice", and preternding even more fervently to be pro-Palestinian, when they are merely anti-Israel reactionaries, content to latch onto whatever excuses they can find to oppose Israel and its existence as an endependent homeland for Jews to exercise sovereignty and provide themselves the collective self-defence that has been denied for so long.
They pretend to be pro-Palestinian, but that could not possibly be true, because they never actually propose policies or advocate positions that would benefit the Palestinians. A pro-Palestinian would encourage compromise. A pro-Palestinian would oppose Hamas and its illiberal quest for control over the population. A
pro-Palestinian would condemn efforts to inculcate a death cult among Palestinian children, rather than obfuscating and providing cover for those who are doing so.
And that most certainly does not describe any "pro-Palestinian" I've ever encountered on any of these fora. "Pro-Palestinians" will only ever provide arguments and narratives that are anti-Israel. That harm Israel's cause, undermine the justice of its continued existence, seek to bring Israel down rather than helping the Palestinians up.
Your positions have nothing to do with the best interests of the Palestinians, and everything to do with denying those 15 million people the right to exercise sovereignty over the territory in which they currently do.
It is a shameful position. And you can try to dress this pig up in "rights" and "justice" and other distorted terms. But it's still a pig.
This is irrelevant anyway because the Palestinians themselves have more or less accepted that they won't actually return themselves, most of them at least. Instead, they will be offered some form of compensation - similar to what the Jews received, and some still do receive, from Germany.
Yeah, because germany going into foreign countries and systematically murdering entire populations is TOTALLY like Israel and the Arab world engaging in apopulation exchange during a war initiated by those Arabs that resulted in the death of 1% of the entire Israeli population. :roll:
and for the record (not that you care) the Palestinians most definitely have not given up this demand for the fake right of return. it is, as they continually repeat, a core demand. Which makes sense, as they are not fighting for independence, they are fighting for Israel.
You would know that if you tried paying attention, rather than fixating on fake rights and phony justice.
