Yeah, Steven's probably right. The 'Right of Return' for Palestinian refugees from the 48-9 war probably has to be given up. It's not about justice, but about what's possible, and if there's going to be peace in Palestine/Israel, the 'Right' probably has to be given up.

On the other hand, peace comes best when it's founded on justice. That's a bumper sticker you can actually put a little credence in - 'If you want peace, work for justice.' Any unjust peace sows the seeds of future conflict.

Unless there's truth-telling and reconciliation. I hope South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation Commission succeeds in lancing some of the poison without unrealistic reparations.

I wonder if something like that could ultimately work in Palestine/Israel - telling the truth in exchange for amnesty.
