Do Mexicans have the right of return in Texas, California, Arizona etc from land won during the Mexican - American War

Do Cuban Americans have right of return for land taken from their families by Castro?

Do we give Puerto Rico back to Spain after taking it as a result of the Spanish American War? Certainly there were some Spanish land owners who got screwed with that transaction

Israel won the civil war and has won every armed conflict since then. It is well past time to get over the idea of right of return and start dealing in reality. That reality probably entails a separate Palastinian state, but not necessarily along the lines the Palestinians want

The reality is that no two state solution will work. There will either be a right of return and equal rights or compensation deemed fair by the guys willing to launch rockets and commit suicide.

There are thousands of Cubans in Miami and South Florida who, if able, would relocate to their homes in Cuba immediately. They should have that right, because they were forced to flee their lands due to political tyranny.

Your other two examples were instances where additional territory was acquired through war. The Arab-Israeli War of 1948 was not the Six-Day War in 1967 where Israel acquired additional territory and the status of those people became disputed.

The people who were expelled from their lands in Israel in 1948 were mostly not combatants in the 1948 war, yet were nonetheless removed from their homes and have not been allowed to return. Those still living, along with their families, should have the right to relocate to these places.
