Murray Hill comments on this article in the Jerusalem Post. It's about the constitution that the palestinians are still in the process of hammering out with the able assistance of Dr. Ahmed Khaldi, a lawyer from Nablus. They want to get it just right, and they actually seem to be getting somewhere. As Murry points out, they were "recently forced" to amend the language so as to recognize that their state isn't going to cover all the territory from the river to the sea. (Progress, but I have a feeling they're not burning the previous draft just yet.)
But it was this quote that most attracted my attention:The constitution guarantees the civil, political, social, cultural, and economic rights of all citizens living in the state, Khaldi said. According to Article 25, all Arabs living in Palestine before May 1948 are entitled to Palestinian citizenship.
I can't help but wonder what Jews and other non-Arabs who were living in "Palestine" before May 1948 are entitled to. Dhimmi status, perhaps?
