I must've misunderstood your post.

And regardign C, hey, they left, it's no longer theirs anymore. The Jews who currently live in Israel came from Europe a couple of decades ago. Palestinians have been living there for centuries. They're more natives to the land than the Jews are. Sucks for the Jews that they're trying to perform ethnic cleansing in the 21st century.

 

They didn't "leave", they were driven out. But never entirely, as there has always remained a Jewish minority, and since the ruling Ottomans allowed more Jews to return to Palestine and purchase land there over the centuries, the idea that their presence is somehow illegitimate seems dodgy at best and repugnant at worst.

Most of the Jews living in Israel came from Europe a couple of decades ago. Heck, even the language they speak was invented in Europe less than a century ago. And how does this excuse the ethnic cleansing?

Typically when there is an ethnic cleansing, there is less of that particular ethnicity afterwards. Sort of like what happened to the Jews or the Armenians. Since there are more Palestinian Arabs than ever before and Israel has over 1 million Arab citizens, this has to be the most cackhanded ethnic cleansing in the history of the world.
