Palestinians and the 'right of return' | csmonitor.com

Excellent piece by Deshowitz, summarizing the falseness and double standard aspects of this Palestinian "right of return" issue, which is probably the single biggest barrier to a "peace" agreement between Israel and its Arab enemies. Do I think that such a peace agreement would really work? Probably not, but it would once and for all take the false Palestinian issue off the table and take the dialogue back to the clarity it had in 1967 before the Six Day War -- there would be no disputing that the issue is not over achieving a "just" peace treaty, but is about the right for Israel to exist, period. I would much rather make the Europeans face this basic question than hide behind the Palestinians.
