It seems like the only people in the world that accept the analogy between palestinians Right of return and the geramn one are israelies and germans... germans, which are mostly known as the agressors in World-War-2 can get some simpathy as people who where expelled and do not demand there homes back. no matter that they where expeled to there homeland, a rich country that could take care of them, and it was the smallest crime of world-war-2, and the only one against germans. Israelis like this analogy because it puts the palestinians in the place of the nazies, turning the hall conflict in palestine upside-down and let's israelis feel victims again. instad of refugees problem treated as what it is: the main issue of a conflict created by zionist colonialism and ethnic cleansing, it is displayed as side-effect of war started by palestinian agressors, something to forgive and forget... well, it is not going to happen, palestinians know and remember, decent people all-over the world know and remember and ethnic cleansing will not be perpetuate be the country that made it.
