84. Absolutely - no solution without full RoR would be fair.
I think it's the best resolution that's not *completely* impossible (I think that even the end of the occupation is almost certain not to happen, but it's not completely and utterly out of the question if one is blindly optimistic enough), but that any resolution that does not include a full right of return for all those Palestinians* displaced in the Nakba (and consequently the end, once they get the franchise, of Israel's being a Jewish state) will not be in any sense fair.





*In theory a solution which entailed RoR for Palestinians but not for Jews forcibly displaced from Arab countries in response to it would not be fair either, but in practice I care immeasurably less about this, not because their displacement was any less unjust but because it would surprise me if the number who chose to exercise such a right got out of double figures, and unsurprised if it didn't get into them.
