End the "Palestinian Refugee” problem

There is a humanitarian solution to this problem which has not been, so far, explored or even seriously debated. The author of this proposal is Dr. Martin Sherman, of whom Shabtai Shavit, former Head of Israel's Mossad, said of him: "From my past acquaintance with him, I can testify that he has never sought conformity or consensus. There can, however … be little doubt that his ideas are challenging, provocative and carefully argued. Indeed, the very controversy they may stimulate is perhaps among their greatest merits, for they raise questions of substance as to the conceptual validity … of several major tenets of international relations policy assessment and deterrence".

The solution would be for those Arabs, called 'Palestinian', to finally be repatriated - with handsome compensation - to their countries of origin, or any country of choice willing to accept them. They will, hereby, be truly free to regain their human dignity as a citizen of the world.

Giving the Palestinian-Arabs a larger area to call a state will not provide them with democracy or freedom from their despotic rulers… Indeed, they are very likely to be even worse off than today. Their leaders have a vested interest in keeping them in misery and penury. They have long been – and still are being – exploited as pawns in the overall Arab strategy to use the 'Palestinian cause' as a tool to delegitimize Israel and to wipe it off the map.
