I answered your question. You did not answer mine.

What question do you want answered? Most of what you stated seemed to be rhetorical.

Why is this only a relevant question now when it wasn't before and only with regards to hypothetical Israelis and not actual Palestinians being actually displaced right now? Why should we care more about the rights of Israelis to not have to move than the rights of Palestinians who have been rendered stateless refugees for generations or put into concentration camps?

I.e. why do you assign worth to Israeli rights but not to Palestinian rights? Why does Israel get to steal Palestinian homes and declare "no backsies"?
