You want to know what a real contradiction is (just out of fairness of couse), is stating that Palestinians deserve compensation (or return), but denying Jews the same right.  Jews throughout the Arab world were driven out the Arab nations due to the 1948 war that was instigated by the Arabs. 

Why are the Arabs so concerned with giving the Palestinians their just dues, but their own Jewish citizenry (who were not involved in the war) were driven out of the Arab nations that they were citizens of without a cent of compensation.  They had their assests and property stripped from them, and they received nothing in return except a swift kick in the ass. 

So if we really are serious about fairness for the Arabs who lost land and possessions due to the war, than we have to give Jews the same... am I wrong?

Certainly, if we are to have a fair and comprehensive peace initiative, then we have to give the proper dues to both the Jews and Arabs who were victimized by the war.  Right?


Nope. Your certainly right. That should be factored into the deal squashing the Right of Return.
