yes you're right about that. that's what started it. that was a tragedy. the original sin. this sucked for the pals, they didn't deserve this.however.
you have roughly the same amount of jews that had to flee, for the same reasons. nobody would even think about demanding their land back or giving them and their descendants a right to return. no pity, no nakba.
you have countless examples of ethnic displacements, where for some reasons everybody accepts (including the victims) it after some time, as a consequence of war. for some reason not in this case.
i think i posted before about the displacement of 17 million germans, königsberg, sudetenland, etc. who would seriously call their descendants refugees today? 30 million german refugees? demand real estate back? only in this case.
nakba was 65 years ago. there's hardly anyone alive anymore that was actually displaced. the fact that the UN grants every descendant the status of 'refugee' may be international law, but it's still completely absurd.
the reason again is, that nobody in the arab host countries wants to accept israel and the arab countries don't want to make the refugees citizens ('apartheid' for the human rights crowd). if your grandfather and father were born in a lebanese 'refugee camp' you're not a refugee.
israel today is about 6 million jews, 2 million arabs. to allow 5 million arabs into israel to live there, to "return" to a place that most of them have never been to, would mean the end of the state of israel, instantly.
if someone seriously demands right of return, they either don't know what they're talking about, what that would actually mean. or they simlply don't accept israels right of existence, want it destroyed. then they should simply say so, makes the discourse easier.
