the kurds also have the right of return to where turkey located today. and what about the mexicans? the right of return to texas???? happy nakba day everybody:)

I visited Jaffa many years ago and will return this summer. I recall that there were lots of Arabs living in Jaffa then, and obviously they still live there; so I don't understand the term "rightful owners." They still live there or they wouldn't be allowed into Israel to protest, right? It just doesn't make any sense for Arab citizens of Israel to be carrying Palestine flags. It also makes no sense that people who were displaced because of war feel that they have a "right" to property in Israel, a country which they have made abundantly clear they don't want to live in. If they want to emigrate and become Israeli citizens then they can apply just like everybody else. If they want to go to Palestine, then they can choose the West Bank or Gaza, right? Why are these Jaffa Arabs unhappy living in Israel? Israel is a very nice country both Arabs and Jews. This stuff is a waste of time.

Have you ever been to Texas? The Mexicans have returned hundred fold, do a little research before you post.

Dan #27, nothing but nothing is given away free, no social services, jobs, benefits or education, have you ever heard of the word,TAXES,, everybody must and do contribute. Jews and Arabs alike.

you have it so good here. SO PLEASE SHUT UP OR LEAVE TO your homeland JORDAN.

no one cares about your incintement to hate but a few hundreds of arabs muslim fanatic and hamas lover and their brain washed adolescent head shaved. so go take yopur hate in gaza losers

You are thinking like Hungarian Straw again. There is no right of return for Pal Arabs that negates the prior right of return for Jews. You can't have a the way street you dream of. You threw 1 million Jews out of Arab countries from 1900 to 1965 and they mostly ended up in Israel to join their Jewish brethren in their right of return. I recommend the millions of Pals abroad return to those homes in Kurdistan, Iraq, Yemen, Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Morocco, Lebanon, Syria and the rest of the glorious and advanced Arab world. Welcome them with open arms. I can already see the tremendous burst of industry, culture, commerce, science that will result from such a grand re-welcoming.

you have seven life like a cat!!!!!! they didn't kill you in Siria or Libia or Yemen or wherever live your muslims brothers? Haaa , your lucky maybe you live in Israel or Cisjordania under the Israeli proteccion...!!!! Be carefull the nest time where you're. Tthat people don't care about life.

says the protesters who are already living in Jaffa and did not leave their homes when Arab leaders asked them to in 1948. So what right of return are they asking for....to Saudi Arabian desert? Ok - I agree.

and stuff every Arab who enters the country through agreement into Jaffa. Guaranteed, these same Arabs will be the first to complain if they get their wish because of lack of housing and crowded conditions in Jaffa, and will demand access to employment, benefits, and other areas like Tel Aviv and Ramat Hasharon. However, most Arabs (atleast in Gaza) claim to come from Jaffa - so send them ONLY to Jaffa and let the Arabs there deal with their new conditions. Not our problem.

in which they need to share equally with non-Arabs. Not sure what type of State provides the minority of citizens with the majority of power and wealth. Oh yeah, Apartheid South Africa and despotic Arab regimes like Syria. The Nakba Law? You seem somewhat intelligent, so go read it before commenting. It states that VIOLENT protests will not be tolerated but doesn't outlaw ALL protests. Seems like that have that law in UK too, yes?

Ottoman Turks? - they lost a war and gave up on the land.... Arabs? - only 2.3% of the land was in private Arab hands and hasn't been ruled over by Arabs for 600 years Jews? - well, a large portion of the land was purchased by Jews with the deeds to prove it. So, are you referring to the "Arab supremacist" definition of "rightful owners", or the Intl Law definition of "rightful owners"? Want to try for Nakba 2? All you have to do is run away in the middle of the night based on a false rumor. No need for the IDF to visit you, just like in 1948.

Were you forced to ride the bus in the back? Forced to walk in the street rather than on the sidewalk? Given sub-par medical treatment when others received better? Not given access to education while others were given access? Beaten up and yelled at for being an Arab by passer-bys? I keep asking this question to Arabs who claim to be discriminated against and never receive an answer. So, please tell us about your horrid life in Israel. and I'll be happy to share with you how I almost got lynched in Jerusalem by Arabs while walking a public street!

Many Arab cities are massively corrupt and do not collect taxes yet demand full State benefits. Arabs are free to attend schools just as Jews and pay the same tuition, yet they demand jobs come to them in remote villages as opposed to them going to industrial centers, as Jews do. Jews have to do army service to protect the State, while Arabs refuse to do National Service even in their own cities but demand to be protected from Hizbullah missiles after spies among them pass information on where to aim the same missiles. Where have you been??

How many times must I ask you to prove your entitlement to the land, 5x, 10x, 15x, tell me how many, I'll ask as many times as you evade the answers ?? Nakba law is a result of Nakba rioting, you got what you asked for What really surprises me is that you’re still in the UK, with your vehemence one would have thought you would be here to participate in the riots Would you have preferred that we use Syrian, Libyan, or Jordanian law, when the Government shot down thousands of protesters for rioting ?

Let them go across to the West Bank or Gaza for their education and health support system...don't let them bleed a state they hate out of humanitarian resources!!!!

The time is running out for the concept of Israeli Arab, citizen or not. First of all, democracies are short run events in the large scheme of things, they do not function well with largely divergent outlooks (democratic Lebanon?), they hamper getting things done in the public square, and lastly, it is not a Jewish concept. Secondly, the Arabs have taught us well that either we can make them dhimmis, or they will make us dhimmis. We have let a genie out of the bottle, and it will take certain steps to get it back in. Those steps include a good drubbing of the Arab, like a long overdue correction.

However, no matter how many times I have tried to get questions answered that would affirm your alleged claim to ownership, all I get is silence If you think you have a leg to stand on, trying standing on it By your perpetual failure to respond, you have affirmed that that the Jews are the rightful owners, As the name "Arab" indicates, you're just a bunch of interlopers and should return to whence you came from, Arabia We hadn’t heard from you for some time, thought maybe you were sick, too bad that you’re feeling better, I was hoping for the worst

I really for sorry for you, tryining to be a spokesperson for the Arabs while you're so inept at the job I'll be merciful, just answer two or three, that should be within your rather limited abilities Who are the "True Natives" ? So far nobody has been able to prove it was the Palestinian's, let's see how good you are at it, you can be the very first to do so Just keep in mind, if you don't answer, you've wrecked the case you're trying to make Name its kings or rulers. What are their achievements? With which other peoples did the Palestinians interact? Where can one find any records where in the name of the country of Palestine or its people are mentioned? What Archaeological sites can one name? Where can one find the recorded history of these people? Whom did they conquer or were conquered by? Was Palestine ever recognized by a country whose existence, at that time or even now, leaves no room for misunderstanding? Can anyone name at least Five Palestinian leaders before Arafat? Since there is no such recognized country today, what caused its demise and when did it occur? By whom was it brought down? Also, what was it so proud of? And here are some very important historical facts and further relevant questions: Not even under the Ottoman Empire's 500 years occupation was the name of Palestine used for any part or section of the Holy Land for administrative purposes. If there were an entity called Palestine and its people Palestinians, it would beggar logic and belief that the Muslim Ottomans would not denote the area with their name. C'mon Gal, give a whirl !

As Iran is The "Islamic" Republic and Saudi Arabia does not even allows others to practice their religions freely, could go on for hours, by the way, Israel was created after 2 milenia of brutal persecution of Jews, in Christian and Muslim lands, remember Inquisition, or pogroms or even the Holocaust, where nice and caring people like yourself, I am sure never did anything to help those Jews persecuted, but care so much of Jews trying to survive as such, in their own GOD given land, if you care so much for peace, ask Arab and Muslims(even some Christians), to stop their relentless attack on all Israel does to protect Itsel agains ongoing and daily agression on all fronts

I should be able to make a fortune.

then you have to explain why Arabs from outside of Israel are continually trying to get "FREE" services and treatment at Israeli hospitals, depriving Israeli's of services they have bought & paid for Of course, in your Arab village of Gush Halav, everyone pays his taxes; you don't have a single tax evader in your midst When was the last time you served in Tzahal as many Jews, Druze & Arabs have ? Now, place some of your baloney in a Pitah, maybe somebody will sucker enough swallow it

Before the Jews captured Yaffo, Arabs were using the Minarets to mount sniper fire into Tel Aviv

they should go and learn some history!

Rightful owners... would that be the British or the Turks of the Ottoman Empire?
