1. Literally no Jewish Zionist on this website, or any that I associate with in real life, has ever called for the extermination of the Palestinians. So end your delusional ranting right there. You are speaking to mainstream Zionists, not Kahanists or JDL-supporters.
2. Of course you wanted a binational state, because Jews did sooo well culturally with dhimmi status in other Muslim-ruled countries
These very same host countries will continue to claim that Jews had it just great and dandy under their rule but always leave out that there were certain caveats and restrictions on the Jews (and Christians) in those countries. A Binational state would have never have worked, and you know it.
Perfect example of Dhimmi status hurting Jews: Morocco's monarchy has good relations w/ Jews, but the average Moroccan hates most Jews. 3. I don't have to prove that my family owned land anywhere. You brought up DNA/blood ties and you brought up ties to the land. You didn't specify what you meant by this and you will look foolish if you want to move the goal posts on defining that term. My family might not have had land in Pre-Modern state Israel, but countless of other families did (During Ottoman rule and Pre-Ottoman rule). This includes mizrahi and ashkenazi families.
Areas like Tel Aviv (est. 1909) were pretty much spaces of nothing before Jewish settlement. And again, a lot of these places were legitimate due to those pieces of land were either owned by the Ottomans (later sold by Jews) or were populated under British rule after the fall of the Ottoman empire.
There was never a country called Palestine, it was a geographic area and a British mandate. Palestinians are virtually distinguishable from other Arab populations in the region. It is not its own separate ethnicity. However, it is pretty much recognized that a national identity had formed AFTER 1949 (particularly in the 1960s).
There were Jews and Zionists who identified under the "Palestinian" moniker during and immediately after WW2, due to it being the name of the British mandate/Geographic area.
So, I find it funny that Palestinians are falsely accusing Jews of not being a nation. We are an ethnic religion. It is well documented fact. And unlike the Palestinians, we have thousands of years of evidence to prove our religion and our ethnicity. You, yourself, admitted it by differentiating Ashkenazi and Mizrahi. If Jews weren't an ethnicity, it would be ridiculous to differentiate the two as they aren't denominations of Judaism. An Orthodox Ashkenazi Jew can pray at an Orthodox Mizrahi/Sephardic Synagogue and vice versa.
4. Colonization, often times, is used as a term to attack people who took over an area to which they had virtually no ties too. As I already mentioned, this doesn't apply to Zionists or Jews as we all have a historical, religious, cultural and DNA-based tie to the Middle East, Jerusalem, Hebron and other areas.
We had every right to try and bring in Jews during a time of cultural and political persecution of Jews (which, of course, Arabs contributed too, via dhimmi laws and also through Muftis aligned with Hitler). but even (ESPECIALLY) without the holocaust we had a right to do so as there was no country on this land. It was a territory that has been passed around from empire to empire.
5. Your irrational hatred of Israel is a perfect example of why the Palestinians don't have a state. We had lost our country and homeland for thousands of years and were not bitter. We were vanquished into obscurity for centuries and were discriminated against for almost as much time. We did not let our bad past stop us from having a prosperous future. The Palestinians are doing the exact opposite. You have had MANY opportunities to have your own state and your corrupt, terroristic leadership has burdened you by rejecting each offer for peace and statehood.
6. LOL at accusing Israeli settlements of being purist. MANY Palestinian leaders have claimed that they want a Jew-less Palestinian state. This is very well documented. Nothing is stopping Israeli-Arabs from moving to Israeli settlements. Literally nothing. But, non-citizen Arabs, of course, have no right to move into settlements.

Citation: http://www.weeklystandard.com/what-the-plo-ambassador-said-about-removing-jews-from-a-palestinian-state/article/594117 This is in comparison to Israel, who in almost every proposal, has never claimed to want to cleanse its borders of Arabs. Maybe one politician or party may have said it here and there, but no major politician has proposed to throw out every Arab from Israel after a finalized peace process. Only the Palestinians have said that...about Jews.
7. On people losing their land during the War of Independence: It is a sad reality of almost every conflict in literally almost every war. Like I said, Arab nations screwed over the Palestinians by invading Israel. Some willingly left their lands hoping the Jews would lose, others ran away once Israel beat our Arab armies in their cities, others were forced out as a consequence of war.
8. Hamas is only responsible for the suffering of Gazan Palestinians. Israel withdrew in 2005. Hamas, after being elected, decided to further engage in terrorism. Hamas decided to invest in terrorism instead of economics, culture and living standards/environmental sustainability. Denying this is tantamount to defending the actions of a terrorist organization. Israel didn't force Hamas to launch rockets into Israel. Hamas did that on its own.
9. Palestinians are not barred from entering Israel. This is a blatant lie. Many Palestinians work in Israel at Israeli businesses, and like ALL Israelis (including Jews), go through legitimate security checkpoints.
10. Finally, your ridiculous claim that you welcomed us as "guests." If a conservative opposed to legal or illegal immigration said this he or she would be called a bigot. And, also, as discussed, you didn't get to decide who was or who wasn't a guest or permanent resident. There was no country called Palestine.
