The article published in Yedioth Ahronoth covering the Ministry of Pensioners' Affairs initiative to sue Arab states for the restitution of property and assets left behind by Jews fleeing the countries to Israel has resonated in the Arab world. Algeria, in particular, has said that it will not honor a request for restitution.

The Ministry for Pensioners' Affairs recently called upon about one million immigrants from Arab countries to fill out letters of claim in preparation for a lawsuit the ministry is preparing in order to return their property. The ministry also raised the possibility of holding indirect negotiations with the relevant countries as a means of establishing compensation.

"Right of return" is a two-way street.

If you can't pay up, that's fine.

Just don't ask for anything.

I don't understand why this wasn't addressed years ago. Arafat used the ROR as a reason to reject all peace agreements. But what has happened to Jews in Arab (and Iran) countries is despicable.

To me that is a major reason not to care about "world opinion" when it comes to Israel.
