Quote for the Day:

Few conflicts have been examined in as much detail as the events in Israel/Palestine in the spring and summer 1948. Almost sixty years later, the question as to whether the Palestinians fled voluntarily or were expelled has crucial contemporary relevance to solving the conflict. Israelis argue that if the Palestinians left voluntarily, they have no right to return. But Palestinians claim that they were indeed forced out and do have the right to go home. Several peace plans in recent years have foundered on this central issue.
