Forced expulsion and dispossession of the Arab population did not start until the Arabs rejected all peaceful solutions, including the UN partition plan, and started the war with a specific purpose of expelling the Jews. The Jews were trying legal agreements and monetary compensation for a very long time, but at that point all bets were off. After the Arabs insisted on the "let the sword decide" option, the Jews could only accept the challenge. The sword has decided. Now what?
Spoken like a true apologist for ethnic cleansing.
Forget the terrorist campaign carried out by the Irgun and the Haganah. Forget the fact that the Jewish Agency had discussed the need to dispossess and expel the Palestinians from any future Jewish state as early as the 1930's. Forget the fact that the expulsions began long before any Arab armies invaded Israel. Forget the fact that the UN partition plan gave the Palestinians 45% of the total land when they made up nearly 70% of the population. Forget the fact that it would have economically devastated hundreds of Palestinian villages, by cutting them off from their farmland (and therefore the primary source of their livelihood). Those civilians practically forced the Zionists to ethnically cleanse them. Truly disgusting.
The origin of the Roma people is quite obscure...They still continue their isolated nomadic lifestyle and, apparently, have no desire to settle down or create an independent state.
Since when? Several Romani nationalist organizations have put forward plans for Romani homelands, but to no avail. Perhaps they aren't morally bankrupt enough to believe that they have the right to dispossess and exile millions of people to establish a state?
I don't understand though what is the point of your examples.
The point was to counter this nonsensical idea that Jews were somehow unique among humanity in their lack of a homeland, which you continue to repeat ad nauseaum as a rationalization for war crimes and ethnic cleansing.
After they [Moors] were pushed out of Iberia they remained in the Northwestern Africa and today comprise essentially all the population of Morocco, Western Sahara, large part of Mauritania, Mali and Algeria.
And retain a distinct ethnolinguistic identity from the majority populations in those countries even today, speaking a distinct Andalusian dialect of Arabic with heavy Spanish and Portuguese influences.
Like I said - Jews are not unique in terms of their history of oppression/exile,or lack of a "homeland" where they constitute a majority of the population, etc. Others have suffered similar fate without seeking the right to ethnically cleanse part of the world to create a nation.
What Bantustans?! Not series and not semi- anything. And what landlocked?! Gaza has a very long seacoast!!
I suggest you go and look-up what a Bantustan is. Based on what territory in the West Bank is under the administration of the Palestinian Authority today (and would likely constitute the proposed Palestinian state), we see several discontinuous tracts separated by swaths of Jewish settlements under Israeli control. Nor does the PA territory extend to the Jordan River...which means that the islands of PA territory are surrounded by Israel on all sides. Moreover, Israeli proponents of the two-state solution have made it clear that the Palestinian state would have no army, no control over its airspace, and could only conduct foreign trade under Israeli suzerainty. Some even believe that the Israeli military shouldn't completely withdraw.
That isn't an independent state - its an autonomous Israeli colony for Arabs.
Does it include the Jewish non-combatants and refugees that were expelled from beyond 1967 lines during the 1948-1949 war?
Yes. But surely even you realize that the number of Jews who fled Palestinian territories is dwarfed by the number of Palestinians expelled from Israeli territory.
