What Right of Return, Mr. Baker?

http://hnn.us/articles/33928.html

By Richard L. Cravatts Mr. Cravatts, PhD, director of Boston University’s Program in Book & Magazine Publishing at the Center for Professional Education, writes frequently on law, politics, religion, housing, and culture.

President Bush’s January 10th speech about a strategy for the Iraqi war going forward did ignore two key suggestions found last month in Jim Baker and company’s meretricious Iraqi Study Group report: that, first, the U.S. should initiate diplomatic conversations with Syria and Iran, and, second, that it should withdraw its troops in 2008. Thankfully, another specious suggestion from the report also went unmentioned in Bush’s speech, namely the notion of creating some linkage between Iraq and the need for “a renewed and sustained commitment by the United States to a comprehensive Arab-Israeli peace.”

"And there is another significant aspect of the “refugee” problem from the 1940s that everyone demanding rights of return and reparations for Palestinian refugees conveniently forgets: some 800,000-900,000 Jews, some of whom had lived in Arab lands for 1000 years, were expelled and all their wealth (estimated to be about ten times that of the Palestinians) was confiscated as the nascent Israel was being established. No one cries over their lost possessions, homes, property, and citizenships."

I read the entire linked article and also UN Resolution 194.

Islam no longer has any basis in truth for me. Although I did not have much faith before :)

There are no so-called "palestinians" but for various conglomerations of predominantly islamist arabs that should be kicked out of Eretz Yisrael and preferably killed if they resist.

Those who sign a loyalty oath to the Jewish State may remain until such time as the islamist strategy of lying is identified, then they go too.

There is not much publicity of the real refugees, out of Arab countries of course, that unlike the "palestinians" that were encouraged to leace by their Arabian leaders, the Jews were CHASED out by the racist Arabs.
