Further in the Wiki article on right of return
that Omar cited, is:
A large majority of Jewish Israelis find this
prospect unacceptable. They see the demand for a
Palestinian right of return as merely another way
of arguing for the destruction of Israel as a
Jewish state, and demand that the Palestinians
recognize that Israel has a right to exist.
And the site at
http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Peace/refreturn.html
reaches this conclusion:
This short survey has shown that neither under the
international conventions, nor under the major UN
resolutions, nor under the relevant agreements
between the parties, do the Palestinian refugees
have a right to return to Israel. According to
Palestinian sources, there are about 3.5 million
Palestinian refugees nowadays registered with
UNRWA. If Israel were to allow all of them to
return to her territory, this would be an act of
suicide on her part, and no state can be expected
to destroy itself.
Great efforts should be made by all those
involved, and with the help of friendly outside
powers, to find a reasonable, viable and fair
solution to the refugee problem.
