Israel’s crooked strategy to pre-empt the standing claim of the Palestinian refugees to return to their original homeland from which they were ethnically cleansed 65 years ago, or accept just compensation in case they choose not to, is by no means new. Although the Palestinian refugees’ right of return is guaranteed by international law, Israeli leaders, since the creation of the state, have been pressing the claim that there are Jewish refugees as well, and that applies to those who left their property in most Arab states and migrated to Israel.
