| Israel agrees to return 20,000 Palestinian refugees |
| 2007-11-19 |
| Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert agreed in a closed meeting with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas to allow 20,000 Palestinian refugees to return back into Israel in exchange for ending Palestinian intifada, a report said yesterday. The Palestinian independent news agency MaÂ’an cited Israeli sources as saying that the implementation of this offer will be part of a two-state solution and will remain at abeyance until the Palestinian Authority becomes more powerful. The report did not say what was the criterion used to arrive at the 20,000 figure or whether the remainder of the Palestinians and their descendants displaced by the creation of the state of Israel would be monetarily compensated. |

| #12 They should go ahead with this on the condition that 40,000 will be expelled if the intifada continues. |

| #3 Would it be considered self defense to kill Olmert ? I think a good lawyer could make the case. In fact, I think a good dog catcher could make the case. |

| #2 I hope such agreements must be ratified by the Knesset -- or can be countermanded by the Knesset. How soon until Prime Minister Olmert is convicted of his various crimes and removed from office? |

| #1 Error! Error! Error! The paleostinians will demand that the 20k be allowed into Israel before they will end the intifada. Then some other group will start its own intifada, and demand 100k be allowed back before ending it. At which point, some other group will start their intifada and demand 500K be allowed back in. Lather, rinse, repeat until Israel is destroyed. |
