    It’s not exile if you’re not from there.

    You’re not stateless if you’re not from there.

    It’s not ethnic cleansing if you are a colonizer being removed.

    With that said I don’t generally think that Israelis born there should be removed. But that’s up to the Palestinians, it’s their land.

      That’s a fair compromise. Sucks for the people born there, but it’s a lesson to not do colonization.

        Maybe it would, maybe it wouldn’t. Palestinians are generally very kind (and very religious) people, though positive generalizations are still generalizations. Or yeah, maybe they wouldn’t be willing to risk making the same mistake twice, and no one could really reasonably blame them for that either.

        Long way to go before we need to think too hard about that anyway, unfortunately.

          True, and I do think we need to expand our imagination to include outcomes that don’t rest on Israeli hegemony.
