Olmert Permits Symbolic 'Right of Return'

The number of 'returnees' that Olmert agreed to repatriate in Israel is not important; the principle it establishes is key. Also, it supports the all-important myth that 'Israel is displacing Palestinian natives through occupation:'

One thousand exiled Palestinians will be allowed to reunite with their families in the West Bank and Gaza after Israel agrees to issue permits, Hussein Ash-Sheikh, head of the PA civil affairs department, said Saturday.

Reunification permits were to be issued to a thousand Palestinians living without permits in Palestinian areas, as well as Palestinians living abroad.

Israel agreed to issue the permits during a meeting between Mahmoud Abbas and Prime Minister Olmert last Wednesday.
