Oh come on TL - we are not talking about property that can not be recovered because it's been sold on to persons unknown and can't be found. We are not talking about property that has been irreversibly damaged either.
The LAND is still there, in the hands of those that stole it. Why does the rightful owner have to negociate and allow the thief to keep a part of it?
Yes, we can talk about damages - but the Palestinians are prepared to drop the damages claim for the destruction of their remaining property, immense loss of life and severe damage to their economy. They were even prepared to drop the claims of those whose property was forcibly taken from them during the pogroms before the 1967 land-grab.
If you come back from work one day to discover that someone had broken in and was living in one of the bedrooms - would you say to him: "If you move to the smaller bedroom you can stay" - or would you not rest until he was removed from YOUR property?
