The right of return you are talking about is stated in article 11 of the united nations general assembly resolution 194:


"11. Resolves that the refugees wishing to return to their homes and LIVE AT PEACE WITH THEIR NEIGHBORS should be permitted to do so at the earliest practicable date, and that compensation should be paid for the property of those choosing not to return and for loss of or damage to property which, under principles of international law or in equity, should be made good by the Governments or authorities responsible;"


How can one even concieve of allowing repatriation to israel when there is NO INDICATIONS OF PEACE?


As for payment for the loss and damage of property, who do you suppose should foot the bill for the 1948 arab-israeli conflict, hmmm?




Why should they?


The west bank was captured and annexed to the hashemite kingdom of transjordan during the 1948 arab-israeli war - which was then captured by israel in the six-day war.


Or maybe, jordan and israel should return the land to either the british or the legal successors of the ottoman empire, depending on how far back in history one wants to consider?
