More than seventy years later  most of their houses are long gone  but millions of their descendants are still registered as refugees  with many living in refugee camps. This groupunlike countless others that were displaced in the aftermath of World War II and other conflictshas remained unsettled  demanding to settle in the state of Israel. Their belief in a \"right of return\" is one of the largest obstacles to successful diplomacy and lasting peace in the region.  In The War of Return  Adi Schwartz and Einat Wilfboth liberal Israelis supportive of a two-state solutionreveal the origins of the idea of a right of return  and explain how UNRWA - the very agency charged with finding a solution for the refugees - gave in to Palestinian  Arab and international political pressure to create a permanent refugee problem. They argue that this Palestinian demand for a right of return has no legal or moral basis and make an impassioned plea for the US  the UN  and the EU to recognize this fact  for the good of Israelis and Palestinians alike.  A runaway bestseller in Israel  the first English translation of The War of Return is certain to spark lively debate throughout America and abroad.","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44923631501365,"sku":"ByrdShop_1250252768","price":60.62,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/ByrdShop_1250252768.jpg?v=1768646024","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-war-of-return-how-western-indulgence-of-the-palestinian-dream-has-obstructed-the-path-to-peace","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
