It is hard to believe, but right-wing Israelis and their allies here are now arguing that the concept of a refugee applies only to the first generation (i.e., the people who actually fled or were driven from their homes). Yes, that formulation would have eliminated any right of Jews to “return” to Israel in the 1940’s, after 95 generations, but nonetheless — in their zeal to be done with Palestinian claims — that is what the right is arguing.
