#2 In addition, Jordan has more Palestinian refugees than any other country in the region: three million in total and 1.7 million from Gaza and the West Bank alone, according to a report by UNRWA (the UN Relief and Works Agency).

ya think?

The land used to form the kingdom of Jordan used to be Palestine!
How can the Palis be "refugees" when they have never moved anywhere?

Gaza used to be part of Egypt before it was lost in the 1967 war. So those Gazan "refugees" are really Egyptian, not Palestinian.

#3 I'm all for the right-of-return so long as the Jews are able to return to their land in the Arab countries they were thrown out of at the same time.

#4 Why on earth would Israeli Jews want to move back to the lands of their dhimmitude, Mike? To visit, certainly. To be reimbursed for that which had been theirs, often for millenia, ok. But to live as a minority in the midst of those who'd driven them out, and hated them for returning? I don't think so, I really don't.
