How do you get that from this thread?
I do not think that people should have been forcibly removed from their homes back in the 40's, no.
But, at this point, I think that is moot... however, concessions must be made and reparations are deserved.
Do I think I would feel like they if I were in their position, yes... I do.
Do I hope I would not be using their tactics... yes, I hope that, but no one is killing my kids from a helicopter or tank and all I have are rocks to throw at them.
After that happening for a while, a LONG while, I can see thinking that they need to know how it feels.
Does that justify it, no... but it also makes it a hell of a lot more than just what the Taliban does.
Palestine needs to have far more consideration than it is being given.
As for this law, it has nothing to do with their being given all of their land back, it has to do with families being allowed to stay together & it is simply legislated racist terror. It is no different than the Jim Crow laws of the Reconstruction.

We could argue about "racist". "Terror" is unwarranted, and robs your position of credibility.
