#1 what a crock...

The region of Palestine was under Turkish rule for over 700 years until WWI when the British Mandate took possession of it. After WWII the land was divided and Palestine became the Kingdom of Jordan. Except for a small sliver of land acknowledging the Jewish ancestors lived on all that land even before the Turks took it over. Yes, there were nomads that wandered back and forth across the land but what the modern day "Palestinian" wants is something that's not theirs and will never be. You cannot turn back the hands of time.
Stop throwing rocks and better yourself with the massive amounts of refugee monies that they have been given to you over the years.

#2 and better yourself with the massive amounts of refugee monies that they have been given to you over the years.

In other words, you're asking them to dig in to the 'Weapons and Rockets' set-aside derived from those funds.

Probably won't happen.

#3 Underlying the discontent is fear of open-ended limbo.

Wasn't this the PLO's plan?

"There no return to our homes and land, no real life, no space, no jobs, no services, no economy."

Maybe integrating into Jordan/Egypt is a better plan.

Jordanians and Egyptians know better than to let those people into their country.

For those that have forgotten 'history':

Black September 1970
