No, doesn't do away with the Palestinians. The idea would be that any Palestinian refugee would settle in the Occupied Territories (Palestine), or else in the country where they are currently resident and were perhaps born (Israel, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon) and would become citizens of those countries. What can't happen is that every single person claiming to be a Palestinian refugee be allowed to settle in Israel, and yet this is a PLO demand. It's impossible, and unfair. Many (most) of those refugees were born in other Arab countries and should be allowed to become citizens of those countries. To settle in Israel, they should be required to show they were born there, or at least that their parents were born there.

Hope you're feeling better by the way. That does sound weird and painful.
