I dont think the jews "deserve" israel and more than any arabs do , its just alot easier for the palestinians to leave than the jews , and in the interest of peace i think its the most peacefull solution yet..
well, arabs were never forced out of here... israel never said that jews deserve this land more than the arabs... arabs were welcomed to stay and many of them live here today...
problem is... the israeli view was always "this land can be shared"..
while the arabs view was "this land is only ours, the jews can't be here"..

of course it's much more complicated, but that's just a simplification...

but really, i've given up on arguing about this... people who dont live here will always see things in a different way, and it's ok... everyone is entitled to his own opinion, whether it is right or not.... it won't change anything... jews are not going anywhere... nor are the arabs in the near future...atleast not most of them...

i'm just glad you came up with a solution that didn't involve the jews leaving this place, or the israeli government not fighting against those who call againts israel's existance... that surely is a progress... and i can be satisfied with just that for now...
