That's the issue, when it comes right down to it- of all the millions of refugee people since WWII, one group has not been resettled in lands where their own people live- the Palestinian Arabs.
They want restitution for lost land and property? Sure... how 'bout the Arab nations pay the thousands of Jews who were living in Arab nations in 1949, and were expelled when Israel came into being. Right of return? Sure... have the Arab nations grant it to the Jews they kicked out. ...

No doubt about it. If you kill an Liberian citizen, then you are attacking an American citizen - since Liberians are the same people; just as Iranians are Palestinians. The argument is silly and is part of the process to advocate racial hate. However lets take a different tact.
Adam, from your perspective, what do the Palestinians want? What should they have expected from the Oslo Accords and international agreements such as UN 242? What is it that they are not satisfied with in negotiations?
