After all that research, you still think Israel belonged to the Palestinians, and the Palestinians were driven out of their land. That is not what happened. Clearly, those quotes were made after repeated attacks from the Palestinians. The dates they were made tell you that.
You continue to misrepresent what I've said. Living in Canada (with a history of taking over a country and being unjust to the original residents), I'm very aware of the dynamics here. What I've said repeatedly is that they have to learn to get along side by side. And whether that means being integrated into a 'melting pot' society or a two state solution, well that's what they're going to have to figure out. But the point is, they BOTH DESERVE TO LIVE IN SAFETY AND PEACE. And that isn't going to happen until the Israeli's quit treating the Palestinians like a prisoner population.
The Palestinians are not an indigenous people. There were no people called "Palestinian" until after WWII. They are Arabs who lived in Lebanon and Egypt and named themselves Palestinians after the formation of the state of Israel, and who were extremely angry that Jews were given Arab land....not Palestinian land, as there was no such thing as a Palestinian, but Arab land.
The Palestinians are indigenous to the area. Native, early, first people.....however you define it, those Arabs lived in that area as much as the Jews did. Even the Times of Israel acknowledges that....

From the link: Both Palestinians and Jews have thousands of years of history in the Levant region, this is an objectively true historical fact that is often denied by advocates of the Jewish and Palestinian people in order to try to win points for their case.
The leaders of the Arab countries bordering the new Israel had agreed to the formation of an Israeli state. That made some of their people very angry. Those people were radical Islamists. They came together and called themselves Palestinians. They reeked havoc in Lebanon and Egypt, and were kicked out of those counties and formed their own separate villages. They invaded Israel in 1948, starting the first Arab–Israeli War, which Israel won. After defeating the self-proclaimed Palestinians, the Israeli army did indeed occupy the villages where the "Palestinians" lived, and imposed martial law on them to ensure peace was maintained.
I have suggested many times I think, that people listen to the real-telling of what happened in the six day war that you speak of, as told by Miko Peled, whose father was one of the generals who organized that war. One more time, the video I tried to link refuses to go through, but look up the following title on Youtube:
Miko Peled Seattle. Oct. 1, 2012
If you go to 5:18, he explains the whole situation, including the lead up and how it panned out and all that came as a result of his study of his fathers archived notes and paperwork. Maybe for whatever reason, if you do that, you will find out the real story of the six day war as told by a Jewish general.
The Israeli gov't finally agreed to just give the Palestinians a part of Israel, a gravy region on the coast, no less, and provided them with humanitarian aid (right up to Oct 7th 2023) and installed infrastructure that included pipelines to bring in clean water and take out sewage. Meanwhile, the "Palestinians" elected a Hamas leader as their official "president". That Hamas leader ordered sections the water and sewage pipelines be dug up and used to make missiles, which were fired at Israel.
The Gaza region was inhabited by both Jews and Arabs . Arial Sharon finally decided that protecting the Jews who lived there was financially unfeasible so he forced the Jews to leave the region, providing them with new homes to move to and built the wall around Gaza. There were at the time, several industrial scale greenhouses that were subject to some damage by the leaving Jewish settlers and then by impoverished Palestinians who needed building materials like pipes for their small farms irrigation. But thanks to the efforts of Australian-Jewish businessman James Wolfensohn, working with the American government, those greenhouses were 'bought' from the settlers for $14 million, refurbished to the tune of $20 million and renewed production in them began.
Greenhouses In Gaza: What Happened?
Unfortunately, the grit in the gears that ultimately killed the project was Israeli refusal to let that produce ($120,000 a day) get out of Gaza to go to market. On your story about Hamas digging up sewer lines....I suggest you Google that tale.
That's gratitude for you.
But that's just one example of Palestinian gratitude. They have never stopped attacking Israel. And the Palestinian people basically turned Gaza into a grotto. The Israeli people had nothing to do with what Gaza has become.
Since it's obvious to me you haven't yet, please look into what happened to the Ottoman Empire at the end of WWII and the months after.
Then, please watch these short lectures.
