Hasaan : 1947-49 was not one war. It was at least two. One a triangular (or more) war beewetn Palestinians, Zionists and British, then a more than triangular war beewetn Zionist and land-grabbing Jordanian, Egyptian, Syrian organized armies.There is no unified Arab war. That is an oversimplification.As, the assertion that Zionists sought to remove all the Palestinians, and that all refugees were expelled by force, and that great-grandchildren of refugees that have been denied civil rights for 60+ years by Lebanon, Syria, Egypt, Jordan for a period, have equivalent right of return status to exiles from say Bosnia, three years after the war there.They are different assertions.What should guide negotiations and dissent, is the effort to realize universal good, a healthy and democratic Palestine, and a healthy and democratic Israel, so that more than a self-appointing vanguard believe that they self-govern in a single state.In a word, peace. (Peace meaning stability resulting from mutual health, not the word quiet , or order pretending to be mutual health).The children born are a blank slate. They are innocent, not inheriting the political or moral sins of their fathers, by any interpretation. They deserve a decent life. A present to future good life in their safe and loving home.Its up to us that are adults to construct that good life, NOT to exagerate our fears, or our demands.
