So any future Palestinian state should have a full right of return for any Palestinian refugees abroad, right? Although I suppose one of the more contentious points would be Palestinians wanting to return to land within what are now Israel's de jure border, but I'm pretty sure general resistance to Palestinians being in control of their own borders and immigration goes hand-in-hand with Israeli demands that a future Palestinian state be demilitarized.

I'm not sure what you're saying. I don't think that those Israelis who have expressed support for the establishment of a State of Palestine have ever expressed concerns about Palestinians being allowed to immigrate there, but instead into the State of Israel within whatever borders it ends up with. The Right of Return, at least as expressed by most of those who demand it, seems to talk about the victims of the Nakba and the right of them and their descendents to return to their ancestral lands, many of which are inside the Green Line, so would be inside the State of Israel even if the 1967 borders were agreed to.

I would imagine so, though not sure how feasible it would be in the end, as it would double the population overnight and they wouldn't bring a lot of assets themselves. I don't think if we actually get to that point that Israel would care, it's not like being outnumbered by Arabs on their borders is anything new to them.

There's a scene in Selma where Malcolm X talks about how his followers are important too and then he never appears in the movie again so I guess they weren't important after all. Also in real life there's evidence LBJ collaborated with MLK on planning things but that also doesn't fit the narrative either does it gently caress Selma

This is not right. Jus soli and jus sanguinis are how citizenship is passed down in most cases(all cases?). If the Palestinians ascribe to the concept of jus sanguinis, then it legitimizes their claims as the rightful inhabitants of that land. American or British ideals of citizenship are not universal or even widespread. Germany only began offering citizenship to peoples born there in 1991, and even then they prohibited dual citizenship. You can be a Palestinian who was born in Jordan, just like you can be a German who was born in Mexico.

You can be a Palestinian who was born in Jordan, just like you can be a German who was born in Mexico. If we're talking about the State of Palestine, sure. 1967 lines are however not recognized as state of Palestine by anyone nor claimed by the State of Palestinian as land of that territory. The Palestinian diaspora - at least six million people - are descended from all those people who lived in what is recognized as Israel by most countries. The 50,000 OG refugees weren't born in Israel, though, but Mandatory Palestine. So here is the issue - obviously in a two state situation you could give a citizenship to 50,000 Arabs and hide them away into some Negev shithole, Israelis will probably bite similar bullets if they are forced to come to the table when a two state solution is still feasible. But the six million children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren cannot possibly become part of the Jewish state that Israelis wouldn't give up on. This leaves only the State of Palestine - a disconnected poverty-ridden third world level patch of land in two pieces, one piece which is a bombed out ghetto that makes a Negev shithole look like a paradise. Absorbing 10 million people (let's face it, it's going to take like three decades at best) will be a challenge even if Palestine won't by then have 9 million of its own. http://populationpyramid.net/state-of-palestine/2050/ In a place scarcely larger then Connecticut, only about ten times more poor? Similarily a hypothetical single state will just be able to about to maintain demographic semi-parity with strict immigration quotas for both sides. It’s not going to work with Arabs having double of the population. In both cases, the logical option is to give the Palestinian refugees citizenship in the countries they have always been in and absorb them into the general population like Jordan, which due to all the wars all its neighbors constantly have is pretty much an Arabic Singapore by now. Ultimately everyone will benefit. Jordan is doing pretty well compared to the other countries in the region. Of course Lebanon (where most of the refugees without citizenship reside, I think) is the evil Arabic Singapore twin so I’m not holding my breath any time soon.

icantfindaname posted:loving refugees of Israeli ethnic cleansing wanting to return to their ancestral homes!!!!!! Under this same logic, Mizrahim are justified in their fervent desire for revenge against Arabs. You can either go with two standards. We right every historic wrong, or we go with what's workable today. The first is insane because of facts like Arabs ethnically cleansing Jews from Hebron, never mind the entire Middle East post-1948. How do we treat Arab immigrants from the pre-1948 era? Do we go back to the crusades and even to when Joshua slaughtered the Jebusites, righting injustices? No, because it's loving stupid, and to be fair you'd have to do an infinite regress that would never end. That is why the UN demands that Israel cede land like Hebron, Gilo, Har Homa, E1, etc... that they might legitimately have some legal claim to. That's why any realistic peace deal is not straight up 1967 borders, but rather involve some land swaps. E.g. http://www.pij.org/details.php?id=32 quote:Though the negotiations about land to remain part of Israel involved several areas, the process concerning Ma’ale Adumim illustrates some of the difficulties in pinning down where the parties were when the negotiation ended. Ma’ale Adumim is a large Israeli settlement (25,000 people) east of Jerusalem, blocking much north-south traffic for the new state of Palestine. The Palestinians were extremely fearful that the future Palestinian state would be divided by Israeli lands and roads, leaving it without a coherent land mass. Ma’ale Adumim raised this specter. At one point, the Palestinians agreed that Ma’ale Adumim would be annexed to Israel as part of the overall percentage. Israel argued for more area around the settlement, and connection to other settlements, and the Palestinians then rescinded their agreement. “Unofficially,” however, the Palestinians acknowledged that Ma’ale Adumim could be part of the annexation if the parties could work out the scope of the surrounding area. Thus, when the negotiation ended, the official Palestinian position refused Israeli annexation of Ma’ale Adumim, but, unofficially, negotiators on both sides saw the trade that would have reversed that position (access roads for the Palestinians and limited growth space for Ma’ale Adumim). quote:The hottest question concerning refugees was whether the Palestinians would be entitled to a right of return to the homes they came from in Israel. Though there is much debate on whether the parties did come to agreement on this, the evidence is pretty clear. The interviews, the uncontested account of the meeting that preceded the Saturday press conference, and the written record, or its absence, all point to agreement. There was a widespread unwillingness at Taba to commit agreements or even positions to writing, but this was not the case for the negotiators about refugees. They engaged in marathon drafting sessions, conducted sometimes by one side, sometimes jointly. But since Taba these documents have been assiduously kept hidden. Though there have been references to them, including a draft of one Israeli document in Le Monde6, as recently as July, 2002, Taba negotiators were making reference to Palestinian documents which would not be made public7. As with the maps, the only reasonable inference from this secrecy is that concessions were made for which the parties would now prefer not to accept responsibility. The only issue that could generate this much heat would be a Palestinian concession on the right of return. By one account, the Palestinians agreed to waive this right in return for an Israeli statement accepting at least partial responsibility for the departure of the Palestinians in 1948.
