Thank you for your coverage of this critical issue however your candor only went so far. As a recent, and I admit recent, student of Israeli-Palestinian affairs it has become apparent to me that there are many issues not brought up which are either conveniently left out of discussion or just not researched when Israel wants international support. For instance the very issue of this article is the right of return of the Palestinians. How can Israel continue to deny such a right when it was the actions of early fighters and the Israeli government which created an apartheid state by forcibly removing Palestinians from their homes in 1948 and into the 1950's. Dispite UN condemnation and resolutions to the contrary Israeli government policy has continued to take land from Palestinians with the stated objective of clearing the land of all Palestinian presence.

Arab leaders are right in demanding justice and a return to the land of their inheritance for Palestinians.
