Palestinian Refugees

No one doubts that there was a Jewish invasion of Palestine that caused Arab refugees to flee. However, this happened 75 years ago.

During the same period, 350,000 Italians fled Istria, and nearly 10 million Germans fled territories that are now part of Poland, Russia, and the Czech Republic. Does anyone think that Italians and Germans should now reconquer those territories?

Some time earlier, Armenians and Greeks, who had lived in Anatolia since the dawn of history, were expelled from those lands. Does anyone expect them to want to liberate those territories from the Turks?

Perhaps Native Americans should reconquer their hunting grounds by driving out the Americans, and so on.
