whose right of return?

May I point out that the insistence of european jews to "return" to the holy land, already inhabited, is what orginated this conflict in the first place, and that if a jew has the "right to return" to the land his ancesors have not live in for at least 50 generations, any other human being must have the same right, if his or her family lived there a mere 1 or 2 generations ago.
