Actually, claims based on possession within living memory is usually countenanced in some situations in many parts of the world.
So Palestinian claims based on possession 1, 2 or 3 generations ago can be processed within a context consistent with how claims are usually processed in many places. Jewish claims based on claims 60 generations ago can not. Hence unless one makes the claims that Jews are exceptional and are therefore allowed to dispossess others under terms which would be permitted to no other people on earth, one must give considerable priority to Palestinian claims.
