"long history of ethnic cleansing" is demographic and geopolitical blood libel, the product of more than two millenia of Jew hatred that says Jews must never, ever be entitled to sovereignty and self-defense.

You're obviously utterly unaware that it was Arab leaders, allied with the Nazis during WWII, who told Palestine's Arabs to leave, which they did after believing their leaders' propaganda about the battle for the strategic village of Deir Yassin. The plan was to get the new state's Arabs to fight alongside five Arab armies. Instead Arab civilians bought their leaders' lies about Jews raping Arab women and fled en masse instead because they expected the Jews to do to them what they'd intended for the Palestine's Jews: extermination.

Arab massacres of Jewish settlements began in 1920 in reaction to the League of Nations mandate to Britain to act as caretaker of Palestine while preparing a "national home for the Jewish people". The British promptly betrayed their mandate by hiving off 78% of the land and giving it unilaterally to the new Hashemite Kingdom of Transjordan, doing nothing about Arab ethnic cleansing of Hebron in 1929 and the massive illegal immigration into Palestine of Arabs from Lebanon, Syria, Transjordan, Egypt and Iraq attracted by employment opportunities created by Jewish capital and investment.

Read Palestinian peace activist Bassam Eid to judge which side needs delusion demolition:

"It is Israel - and the Zionist Jewish community preceding independence - that consistently offered compromise, dialogue, and a two-state solution. And it is Palestinian demagogues valuing personal power over the good of their people who have rejected these openhanded offers - in favor of endless strife and the desire that the Jewish community be completely destroyed.

But it's not just Hamas. Palestinian leadership has sold out its people since the beginning of the last century - even as the Jews tried again and again to offer us a state. In 1922, the League of Nations unanimously voted to establish the Palestine Mandate as a Jewish National Home with a map depicting not only Israel, the West Bank, and Gaza, but also what is now Jordan, which the British instead set up as a separate Arab monarchy, cutting off more than 75 percent of the original land grant. This vision was drastically diminished by the creation of Jordan, yet the Jewish community saw it as an opportunity for coexistence. The response? A series of Arab attacks terrorizing Jews in Palestine in the 1920s and 30s, which, right under the eyes of British rule, destroyed ancient Jewish communities in places like Hebron.

The history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict regarding a two-state solution reveals a harsh reality: Israel has consistently made genuine efforts toward peace, only to be met with rejection, treachery, and blood-curdling violence by the Palestinian side. This pattern of refusal, particularly epitomized by groups like Hamas, has been the real obstacle to peace. It's time to acknowledge this truth bluntly. Those who claim to desire peace must confront and challenge the rejectionist elements within Palestinian society, including Hamas. We need to get rid of the Palestinian establishment who have ruled for 15 years without actually representing the Palestinian people. Only then can we hope to forge a path toward a peaceful, two-state future."

Eid's diagnosis agrees with Ernest Bevin, Britain's notoriously anti-semitic foreign secretary who said in February 1947 when it handed the Palestine problem to the UN:

""His majesty's government has come to the conclusion that the conflict in the land is irreconcilable." Jews and Arabs…each one of these groups has one top priority the thing they care about more than anything. "For the Jews, the top priority is to have a state."….For the Arabs, the top priority is for the Jews not to have a state in any part of the land." …..There's no state of Israel, there are no refugees, there's no occupation, there are no settlements. All of the things we're told are the problem. They don't exist."- Dr. Einat Wilf, former Labor Party Knesset member on Ehud Barak's and Ehud Olmert's negotiating team.

Bevin took seriously and literally what the Arabs said, unlike what Dr. Wilf calls the "westsplainers" who explain away what Palestinians clearly say:

"to the credit of Palestinians, for a century, they have made their intentions very clear. That's why Ernest Bevin was able to know what they wanted. But Westerners don't want to look it in the eye."

So let's look it in the eye. For nearly a generation Corey Gil-Shuster's Ask Project has posed the question in street interviews with ordinary West Bank Arabs. The answer is nearly unanimous: ALL of pre-1948 Palestine from the river (that 1/2 the protestors can't name) to the sea is ours - indivisibly.
