Dr Abu-Sitteh is a member of the Palestinian National Congress and
author of the ground breaking Palestinian Right to Return: Sacred,
Legal and Possible. Abu-Sitteh's research has demonstrated that the
majority of Palestinian property from which Palestinians were
expelled in 1948 remains basically empty, and could accommodate the
return of refugees, contrary to Israeli claims. His study,
"The Feasibility of the Right of Return" demonstrates this point
well.

He notes that 78% of the Jews live in 15% of Israel; 22% of the Jews
live in 85% of Israel, all of which is Palestinian land. The absolute
majority of the latter live in a dozen plus towns. Only 2.7% of
the Jews exploit all Palestinian land. Thus, he concludes, "only
154,000 rural Jews control 17,325 sq. km. which is the home and
heritage of 4,942,000 refugees."
