Legacy of 'Palestinian' Claim to Israeli Territory in Deeper Jeopardy - Israeli-Arab Political Influences Notwithstanding

The issues of Arab ('Palestinian') inferences that the territories of Israel targeted by non-Jewish entities for some kind of 'right to return' are now still being pressed, but the pressure to accomplish that peacefully are dwindling as the efforts of the agents of such influences are tending more towards a hostile takeover since the Eleven Days of May, last year.
They try to make the name stick; but it is harder and harder and even in the ranks of those that believed Arafat had a legitimate claim (he did not), the issues cannot be joined any longer except that a show of force to bring intindation to the claim is now the preferred methodology and only the timing is at question.
"Palestine' as a name is not likely to survive, even if the hostiles bring home hostilties to assert their challenges, since as proxies for the non-Arab antipathies, they are not 'Palestinian' either.
