Summary:
"Two prominent Israeli liberals argue that for the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians to end with
peace
, Palestinians must come to terms with the fact that there will be no 'right of
return
.' In 1948, seven hundred thousand Palestinians were forced out of their homes by the first Arab-Israeli
War
. More than seventy years later, most of their houses are long gone, but millions of their descendants are still registered as refugees, with many living in refugee camps. This group - unlike countless others that were displaced in the aftermath of World
War
II and other conflicts -
has
remained unsettled, demanding to settle in the state of Israel. Their belief in a 'right of
return
' is one of the largest obstacles to successful diplomacy and lasting
peace
in the region. In The
War
of
Return
, Adi Schwartz and Einat Wilf-both liberal Israelis supportive of a two-state solution - reveal the origins of the idea of a right of
return
, and explain
how
UNRWA - the very agency charged with finding a solution for the refugees - gave in to
Palestinian
, Arab and international political pressure to create a permanent "refugee" problem. They argue that this
Palestinian
demand for a 'right of
return
'
has
no legal or moral basis and make an impassioned plea for the US, the UN, and the EU to recognize this fact, for the good of Israelis and Palestinians alike. A runaway bestseller in Israel, the first English translation of 'The
War
of
Return
' is certain to spark lively debate throughout America and abroad."--From publisher.
