The displacement was jews from surrounding countries and Europe, not Palestinians. If you have any resource to support your claims that Palestinians were 'displaced' I would be interested in reading it. Do you understand the definition of displacement? Several nations declared war against Israel. Israel did not declare war against those that lived within Israel.
I am interested in anything you may have to that would establish that the state of Israel used force or violence to force Arabs out of the country.

I don't think I noticed you saying anything regarding the surrounding regional countries to step in and help, you only point out Israel. This is a bias. The Palestinians won't have any state if they have violent groups acting on their behalf, it is as simple as that.

Now you are making no sense. You mention the 'Jewish experience' which I assume means everything from holocaust to oppression and then follow up and somehow say the Palestinians may end up with a similar result? Are you trying to connect Jews to being the group that makes that happen? That is shameful.
Israel itself is a sovereign nation, the region itself could also step in and help. People like you who point the finger at Israel and no one else cause more harm than good.

What that argument be? When is the last time Hamas fired rockets at Egypt? How many people have the Syrian government killed lately? How much freedoms are there in Iran? The only country in the region with freedom of speech, gathering, religion, sexuality, etc is who you want to blame.
