That is the key question...there are currently several hundred thousand "palestinians" who consider themselves refugees, even though no one in their families have ever lived in Israel and/or Palestine!
That is the major sticking point re. "The Road Map"; the "palestinians" want the right of return for all "palestinian refugees".
Again, please check out shoebat.com
And that has never seemed right to me.
Now, in the US we have a tradition of taking in refugees, and not counting the sins of their countrymen against them. But we aren't taking them in because of any homeland claims, we are taking them in because of our generosity of spirit.
