Again, my first post still stands. People who do not understand that Zionism is an apartheid movement are misled and don't understand this conflict. Go back to my first post and try to at least understand it.
Your point was bad and you should feel bad. Israel does not have an apartheid system where Jewish Israelis and non-Jewish Israelis have two sets of rights.
The only major difference is non-Jewish groups aren't obligated to serve in the IDF, but if they volunteer they can serve. Ultraorthdox Jews also get this exception (this may change in the future.
You're conflating the military occupation of the West Bank as proof of apartheid, except Palestinians in the Wrst Bank aren't Israeli citizens, thus are not obligated to be treated like Israelis by the Israeli government.
The Palestinians started it? This is immense gaslighting.
In the late 1800s they formed the Jewish colonial fund and began moving and developing an isolationist ideology in Palestine with the goal of making a state. They began lobbying the UK and later the US for this.
In 1931 they already had the British Prime Minister on their side talking about how the goal was to make a "Jewish Palestine". That's 17 years before the ethnic cleansing in 1948.

Please see the Arab revolt against British rule and attacks on Jews like the 1929 Hebron Massacre.
Go further back, you'll end up with Muslims murdering Jews during Ottoman rule, so yeah, Arabs started this shit. Keep going further back and we must ask ourselves how did fucking Muslims take the Levant hm?
Jews never wanted a "two state solution", that is supremely silly. Do you think they would settle to having a microstate in a territory smaller than Slovenia that can't even house 6 million Jews?
And yet they agreed to the UN Partition Plan. No doubt they probably wanted more but they probably would have settled for the sliver they got. Problem is the Arabs really didn't want a two state solution, because they immediately went to war.
It's fucking hilarious you call the 1948 war a "pre planned ethnic cleansing operation" because if that's true, the Arabs going to war immediately played into Israeli plans. You're also ignoring how the Arabs wanted to ethnically cleanse the Jews (and did so to non- Israeli Jews throughout the 50s and 60s as Israel was too tough for them I guess).
Maybe early Israeli leadership realized that fundamental of the conflict I described earlier:
Arabs start wars, which they lose, and Israel expands. Arab Muslims bitch, cry, and demand revenge. They start more wars which they lose, and Israel grows. More Arab teeth gnashing over losing to Jews. Repeat
The only two neighboring Arab states to realize that hm, starting wars that they lose is retarded, let's make peace and look at that, Egypt got the Sinai back (while refusing to take back Gaza due to the Palestinian infestation) and Jordan also realized that fighting got them nothing. They didn't want the West Bank back though, must have been that whole Palestinian coup thing in September. Hmmmmm.
We then come to decades of Palestinian leadership who, instead of accepting deals, start terrorist campaigns.... which Israel wins and annexes more land. The Palestinians could have had control of East Jerusalem in the 90s. Zero chance of that now.
They didn't spent a century lobbying the governments of the biggest militaries on earth and writing books about colonization to settle for a bunch of farms in Palestine
And yet with all that lobbying, the Israelis had to fight the British after WW2, and British led and supplied Arab forces during the 1948 War.
It helps to have allies but that didn't win them a state.
The plan was the total ethnic cleansing of Palestinians
If this was the plan, why not do it in 1967 after buck breaking the Arab world in 6 days? Considering the Jews were ethnically cleansed from the entire Middle East during the same period, it would have been a footnote in history like the population exchanges of India and Pakistan, post WW2 Germany, etc.
The Jews were too tired of winning that they forgot?
or maybe a 'greater Israel' where Jews have a master-race status and special citizenship over the Arabs.
Lol why don't they do this to Israeli Arabs now then?
Oh because you're full of shit.
I'm going to guess "Greater Israel" would have included the Sinai... which Israel turned over back to Egypt for peace.
Also weird how the Israelis forgot to do some ethnic cleansing in the 60s.
talking about ethnically cleansing Gaza right now.
Good thing the Palestinians have backstabbed or ruined just about every country that helped them. Egypt, Lebanon, Jordan, Kuwait, etc. And nobody wants them around, so I hope Gazan Palestinians enjoy having everything around them destroyed because they thought they could attack Isreal en masse and foolishly believe that this attack on Israel was totally the one that would win the day.
Can't ethnically cleanse them if you can't cleanse them somewhere.
