I have concerns about Israels future. its stability. its security and the prospect for peaceful coexistence for both Palestinians and Israelis. One of those concerns relates to the ongoing lack of resolution on the dispossession of Palestinian property and the dislocation of Palestinians after Independence. It must be remembered that about 700.000 Palestinians became exiled. Much Arab property was appropriated. And about 500 Arab villages were destroyed. On December 11. 1948. the United Nations passed Resolution 194. affording Palestinian refugees the right to return to their homes in Israel. or to compensation for their property should they choose not to return. To this day. the mandate of U.N. Resolution 194 has not been fulfilled.
