If you look at the maps, the original proposed borders almost match ownership exactly, with the exception being the Negev dessert, which even today is very sparsely populated and largely state land.
There was also no one being thrown out, until after the wars occurred in 1948, when both Jews and Arabs were forced to leave their homes.
I also disagree with your characterization of anyone who is Arab as indigenous and anyone who is Jewish as European.
