Demographically, the only way the right of return could work would be by a return to the 1947 partition borders, but that's even less likely to happen than a return to the 1948-1967 armistice borders.

A merging of the Iseael and Palestine would be acceptable. Aside from the fact that the "right of return" is hardly guaranteed, the two coming together with a stringent foreign security to stabilize the region would most definitely help. Palestinians would likely immigrate to Egypt and Jordan while still not being oppressed as the region stabilizes.

It's a win-win for both sides: A state for Palestinians without oppression, and the survival of the Israeli state.

Why on earth would Palestinians in a functioning one-state solution voluntarily emigrate to economic basket cases that currently want them even less than the Zionists do now?  If anything, a functioning one-state solution would face immigration pressure from Egypt and Jordan, not the other way round.

Oxymoron, etc.
Agreed, but I wanted to address only one absurdity so I chose the novel one of people moving away if there was a working one-state solution.
