‘Compensation Cannot Extinguish the Right of Return’
Lately Ralph Seliger responded here to Saif Ammous on the issue of refugees from ’48, saying that the compensation envisioned by the Geneva initiative of ’03 is sufficient to extinguish the right of return. Below Saif Ammous responds. I’d offer…

Ahmadinejad: Jews and Arabs Should Vote in Referendum on Future of ‘Palestine’

Saif Ammous on Squaring Progressive and Zionist
