This is a very bitter political pointthey say: Israel has to admit our right to go back to the homes we had before. then we have to have the choice as to whether we go back or not. if we dont go backand they will all agree that 99% of them wouldnt go back and live under Israelthen Israel has got to compensate us for the houses. the land. the equipment. the bank accounts which they have taken from us and which they hold. Of course. the Israelis do still hold these properties. They keep records very carefully. .They know whose property was whose. and they say: Ultimately we will either return the property or pay for it. But up to this point--and it is 21 years nowthis settlement has not been made. And here again is another reason for this bitterness among Arab refugees.
