Why not? There have already been numerous lawsuits regarding post-WWII
settlements regarding property and assets of Jewish families that survived
the Holocaust. I support any efforts to bring misdoings to light and seek
justice for all victims of atrocitious acts of inhumanity.

Put it this way, if Jews want to get back what was taken from them in WWII
then the Palestinians should also be granted the right and priviledge of
returning to their lands and homes. No double standards.

Yeah, but what did the Palestinians do to those Jews to deserve being kicked
off their land? There's no justice, no mandate from heaven, just clearcut
colonialism. If we are going to play the "replace-this-with-this" game, then
you can easily replace Nazi with Zionist. And that's not as far fetched as
you may think since both have the same root in Heigel political philosphies
of nationalist socialism.

What are you referring to? Do you mean the Palestinians regarding Israel? If
so, that's a crock. The Palestinians are still around and still greatly
outnumber the Israelis by the millions.

I'm not sure how anyone could honestly think that when Sharon advocates more
and more new settlements and increased immigration (mostly of Russian Jews)
to Israel. How can there be peace amidst an ongoing invasion and occupation?
More willingness on Israel's part? No way.

Simple question: Do millions of Palestinians have a right to return to their
homes or property and to live in their homeland?
