The Israelis have as national policy ethnic cleansing.
The Israelis are building settlements in Palestinian territory.
They destroy Palestinian housing.
They deny re-entry to Palestinians who go out of country to school.
The Israelis have a second-class citizenship for the Palestinians who are legitimate citizens of Israel.
The Israelis have an army they use against the Palestinians.
The Palestinians do not build settlements in Israel. They do not have a second-class citizenship, they do not deny re-entry to Israelis who leave the country, etc.
Now, if your land had been taken, don't you wish they would go away. There's a lot of BS laying around regarding the formation of Israel. Some Israeli sources.
"For it was precisely the unignorable plight and suffering of the Palestinian Arabs during April-May of that year that forced the hand of the reluctant Arab political and military leaders to take the plunge and invade Palestine on 15-16 May. -- Israeli Historian Benny Morris in an 03-04/1998 article in Tikkun
Partition: "after the formation of a large army in the wake of the establishment of the state, we will abolish partition and expand to the whole of Palestine " -- Ben Gurion, p.22 "The Birth of Israel, 1987"
Simha Flapan. "The acceptance of partition does not commit us to renounce Transjordan. One does not demand from anybody to give up his vision. We shall accept a state in the boundaries fixed today -- but the boundaries of Zionist aspirations are the concerns of the Jewish people and no external factor will be able to limit them." p.53, "The Birth of Israel, 1987" Simha Flapan
