https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestinian_Christians The 1922 census showed 73k Christian Palestinians, 84k Jews, for 157k people disenfranchised from Palestinian political bodies, or 1/8 of the total population. That grows to 1/3 disenfranchised Jews (700k) and Christians and does not include the Jewish migrants from Muslim countries that committed genocide against local Jews (justified by the creation of Israel) who then moved to Israel.

The entire Palestinian cause is an Islamic movement to neutralize Jewish nationalism and the Palestinians themselves are a fictitious people.

European "Jews" are not Arab Jews, but European settlers.

"Jews" is a fraught and misleading term, I am afraid.

Respecting the UN declarations back to 1947 would bring a form of peace, but it would not be possible to respect them through peaceful means at this point.

There are many specific familial historic claims to specific houses and pieces of property.

The apartheid state is unjust and criminal, and was carved out of the British mandate through terrorist tactics from the Irgun as the empire faded after WW-2. It was also a "Zionist project" with old and deep roots in London.

External intrigues and weapons of mass-migration were at play.

Egypt and Jordan are the apartheid states that rejected their own citizens and called them 'Palestinian' in order to create a humanitarian crisis. That landed on Israel, because it didn't expel the Palestinians the way the Jews were expelled from Islamic countries. The moral country is penalized by the immoral ones and you want to treat all sides as morally neutral? Shame on you.

Not refugees?

And what about the Arab states that used Israel's creation to justify genocide?

Not very logically consistent Doctor.

Mostly settlers, but some humans used as weapons, "refugees", as is now happening in a big way again.
