Can you claim that the casino stole your money because you don't have it now and they do?
Then why do the Palestinians who fled Israel in 1948 claim their land was stolen? Clearly, they were gambling that is was only temporary (based on the advice of Arab leaders...who told them to leave to avoid the bloodshed). The upside of the bet was that they wouldn't get killed by the Arab invaders by mistake. The downside was that they'd risk losing their land.
Some Pals were smart and sold their land before they fled and some Pals didn't bet at all but instead stayed and today they live as free citizens in Israel.
Yet Israel gave the Pals who left a 2nd chance. Right after the war Israel asked them to return...why didn't they? They thought they'd be accepted by their Arab brothers. Only when they realized they were mistaken, did the Pals change their minds and want to return... but that's sort of like saying, I'd like to change my bet now that the die have been cast.

Why did Israel change its mind and no longer permit Pals to return? Probably because by this time any returning Palestinian would be returning only to destroy the state...especially given Arab propaganda since the partition.

You are totally correct but I'd like to add. The "Pals" have their drunk *** friend telling them they "deserve their land back" and "I'll be right their behind you". The bet is placed the money is gone but you've got this guy egging you on..... peer pressure to a whole new degree..
