Yes, and Palestinians come to America all the time too. Not as conveniant to visit your family as it is when you live in Jordan though is it?

The West Bank is under PA jurisdiction for the most part so they would have to move out of those territories now. It's not an easy process to become a legal citizen of Israel (even Americans have a tough time) but it used to be....and there was a time when Israel even paid reparations to Arabs that filed claims. The reason you don't see more of them doing it is because they refuse to acknowledge the existance of an Israel.... if it was about identity then why is it the typical Arab you met near Israel used to call themselves Jordanian? This was a loooong time before Jordan granted them the right of return. It's one of the reasons pro-Israel supporters often do not believe the Arabs in the territories have peace in mind at all. When they had the chance to live in peace and coexist they turned it down. Arabic Jews also faced some discrimination, but over time they've found a lot of clout within what is a fairly young democracy. The "change from the inside" theory is what right of return is about... only it's a less subtle version and claims that ALL Arabs have the right to move to Israel. The "right" means you can't legally turn them away. It will never happen, ever. Meanwhile, there was a Palestinian candidate for the position of Haifa's mayor job, and he lost to an Israeli who the Arab's out there seem to love...or at least respect.
