My Way News - Vatican: Palestinians Should Return Home
AP reports: "A Vatican official said Wednesday that Palestinian refugees have the right to return to their homeland and he hoped Israeli-Palestinian peace talks would address the issue."

Comment: Sad, but predictable. Do you think that maybe Palestinians should live in the new Palestinian state, whenever that is created? Otherwise, what's the point? Isn't it odd that otherwise rational people think it's fine to ask Israel (instead of Egypt or Jordan) to give up territory so the Palestinians can have a state and then ask them to also let more Palestinians live inside Israel? Anyway, I do hope someone corrects the Vatican official, Israel is not the Palestinian homeland. Perhaps the Vatican isn't familiar with that whole Promised Land part of the Bible?
