and an arafat quote isn't an abbas quote, and arafat is dead. and like i said above, i figure you're confusing abbas with hamas.

There is a lot in wikipedia about the "right to return." What that means is that the Palestinians would return to the homes and properties that they lost that are now within the state of Israel. If that happened, the state of Israel would no longer be primarily a jewish state and therefore it would be destroyed. This was a major sticking point in the negotiation between Ehud Barak and Yasser Arafat at Camp David in 2000. The Palestinians wanted this right to return. Israelis wanted to set up a 30 billion dollar fund that would compensate the Palestinians for the loss of their land and property within the State of Israel.
