How about the displacement of millions of Jews from Europe before and after WWII and the displacement of the Jews who have been fleeing Russia since it became legal in the 1970's? I don't see the Palestinian people as responsible for the displacement of Jews who fled individually from other Arab countries and therefore being expected to accept less in a "just" final settlement. If so, every country from which Jews have individually fled anti-Semitism owes a debt to the Jewish people. This is a standard many apply only to Muslim countries that you don't apply to European countries or Russia. It doesn't belong on any "balance sheet" of wrongs that should be addressed.
