Should Palestinian people be compensated for?

Your source deals primarily with auto emissions and other carcinogens. However the Palestinian should for many other reasons be compensated,beginning with the return of their land,followed by many decades of severe reparations from the World Zionist Congress and the U.S. government.

Compensation is a major issue in the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. Compensation as legal terminology is found in most of the UN resolutions for Palestine.
There is no legal claim by any Arab Jews that we know of nor there is any mentioning at any UN resolution concerning compensation of the Arab Jews. Most Arab Jews moved voluntarily to Israel and most sold their land to other people.

palestinians want their land ,and this compensateds are just cover for those jews who want to steel more and more land

They should be compensated for all their suffering since 1948,to the tune of 25 billion dollars a year and the return of ALL their territory.

I don't think Palestinians are looking for compensation, I know it was offered by the occupation many times but was always refused by Palestinians.
Palestinians wants their land their homes, they want Palestine!

Stephen I...what about alla the Arabs that were removed when he state of Israel was formed for the jews in 1948.....many arabs lost their homes and businesses. Surely they deserve compensation?

The best that could happen would be for Israel to recognose the state of Palestine, give ALL their land back to them and then US and others to start pumping money in and re-building it the way that they have done in Israel.

Yes, but what amount of money can make up for the lost lands, houses, livelihoods, and lives?

Edward - if you mean the holocaust and the discrimination against them, the answer to your question would be: Not Palestinians!

Oh, don't you just love it when people come up with "sources" that say nothing of what they claim?

I quote:

"The report points to a clear connection in Israel between high rates of urbanization and high incidence of cancer, in keeping with figures from the West. However, a senior Health Ministry official pointed out on Sunday that since the Be'er Sheva region is not highly urbanized and has far less vehicles than the Tel Aviv region, it is likely that the reason for its high cancer rates is at least partly due to the proximity of residential areas to industrial areas using large numbers of hazardous and carcinogenic materials, such as the factories in the Ramat Hovav industrial area. "

Translation into plain English: The closer you live to an urban area or an industrialized area which uses "hazardous and carcinogenic materials" the more likely you'll develop cancer.
This, BTW, is true everywhere, not just in Israel.

Yet for some reason, you decided to politicize it into some anti Israel polemic and claim that Israel is somehow poisoning Palestinian. How silly of you.

Did you actually read the entire article? What part of that article singles out Palestinians? OMG I wish people in this world would think of eachother as all humans and stop categorizing groups!

No they dont deserve money any more then the people in NYC, NY!

Palestinians should be compensated, and moved to Jordan. Finally there will be peace.

Edward

Like it's goiing to happen? Who's going to compensate the Israeli's for being hunted and hated for a couple of thousand years?

Robert McCall

No - and the article says nothing about nuclear contamination.

as long as the more than one million jews who were forced from their homes in the arab countries in the 1940 s and 50 be compensated also.

It's apparent the Palestinians want Haifa to be part of their state...THEY'D LIKE ALL OF ISRAEL TO BE INCLUDED IN THEIR STATE...there are enough Arabs in Haifa as it is...Arab pollution! As to nuclear ??? pollution...you'll find it in Iran--so go there! Arabs should be compensated for the squalor they lived in, but it's almost impossible to find that kind of squalor any longer EXCEPT IN ARAB COUNTRIES! They should feel quite at home living there!

jamie

the point is the land is not stolen,
if Arab leaders had accepted the UN partition plan instead of launching a war to seize the whole british mandate, today an independant Palestinian - Arab state would exist along israel.

Nastrodamos

The first part of your question was good, and yes Arabs, (living ones) that can produce documentations will be, at the same time Jews that were forced out of Arab countries will be too.
As for "nuclear contamination" (point me to facts) what business is it of yours.

I predict people will complain.

stop me if you can

No they should not. The Palestinian authority just received 150 million dollars from the US taxpayers so I'm guessing I've done more than you.
