    The people living in that camp were done dirty by the 1949 armistice, don’t get me wrong. But it’s been 75 years; they need to move on.

    Palestinians are literally the only refugees on the planet who pass down refugee status to their children. That’s based on the definition that the UN made up because the Arab countries didn’t want to take in Palestinians.

    They’ve had 75 years to move out of that camp and make their own lives better. At some point, they need wipe the snot off their noses and stop crying. The Jews who were ethnically cleansed from the Arab countries faced adversity when they moved to Israel, but they’ve moved on and made their lives much better.

      It’s called the right of return. That’s what you get when you create an apartheid state that does ethnic cleansing for breakfast.

        It’s wonderful to see you agree that Arab Jews also have a right of return, and deserve reparations for their stolen assets during the ethnic cleansing of Jews from Muslim countries

        EDIT: I’m trolling you with this comment, but I feel a little bad about it. Let’s just agree to disagree and take the rest of the day to cool off

          Of course they do. What happened during that time was wrong.

          I think you mostly talk out of your ass, but that’s okay.

      @steventhedev @snek Oh wait, I misspoke, the “Jews” of the 1940’s didn’t have a “historical” connection to the last, they only had a RELIGIOUS connection to the land. Religion doesn’t convey physical property rights, so talk about making shit up.
