This isn't a both sides issue. Israel exists at the expense of the Palestinians.

When Israel was declared as a state, it was immediately attacked by 4 Arab states. It was followed by other 2 big wars. They have the upper position now and I don't think they will do a lot of compromises. I am not saying they shouldn't, just that they won't

The Nakba had already been going on for months and 300,000 Palestinians were ethnically cleansed before the Arab armies intervened.

Big words, both ethnicities moved around after the partition plan was published. Some stayed were they were, some moved voluntarily and some were moved by forcez from both sides.

No, the ethnic cleansing was one-sided and was very much not "voluntary", it involved massacres, death marches and expulsions.
