Let all the refugees vote

The jazzman has a great suggestion:

according to an article in ha’aretz, all people who can prove they or their fathers were born in iraq will be eligible to vote in the upcoming elections. this will include hundreds of thousands of israelis.

i applaud this broadening of democracy, and urge the adoption of this principle in other countries. for example, the millions of palestinian refugees who were born in israel or whose fathers were born in israel should be allowed to vote in israeli elections.

Refugees like this one, who isn’t even allowed in his home town to look at his family home.
