I can argue that MY ETHNIC GROUP has a right to ISRAEL. In fact I could argue that my ethnic group "has a right" to pretty much any place.
Isn't it time that people saw beyond "ethnic groups" and realized that the only thing that matters is them.
There is no reason for one group to claim another area- this is why we have wars.
Alsace-Lorraine-> WWI
The Continuing Conflict In the Middle East
etc. ad. infinitum.

I hope we could live in such a world.
But that doesn't happen. When a group of people leave their land and take by force their neighbor's land I give the right to the latter to claim it back. What would you do if your neighboring country would decide to invade your country and conquer it by force? Would you accept that?
Perhaps if there had been no conquers at all there had been no re-claims as well.
