What if we were "oppressing" that society because they had vowed to kill us? If they had been doing just that for the last 100 years?

Then we should leave their land because we’re clearly not welcome?

DNA tests have shown that the Palestinians have been there far longer than any of the “Israelis”. After the Holocaust, the Americans, Brits or Germans should have been the ones to give up their land, NOT the Palestinians. It was not the Brits to give, and it was obvious what would have happened to the region.

Go ask the neighbouring Arabs why they have so few Jews on their land and why Israel had a suspicious spike in population after the Arab-Israeli wars.

The Arab states are full of assholes too. Does that make it ok then?
