There never was a Palestine state anyway, it always was part of other states and at the time of the creation of Israel it was under British control.
Also thousands of jews were already living in that country because they had to escape from Nazi Germany and had to go somewhere.
The allowedly harsh reactions of Israel against Palestines always were acts of defense. Without a doubt a lot of these reactions are exaggerative but if Palestines would stop their aggressions today there wouldn't be any more fights and a Palestine state could be created immediately. Sadly they don't stop.

how is displacing millions of people out of ideology the simplist solution? It is only the simplist solution to a zionist who was proposing such a solution to begin with, to the arabs it was a "catastrophe" not a solution. while they may not have had a country, as the cliche goes, possession is 9/10 of the law.. they were there first, and not no mythology either, tangibly. people living in refugee camps in lebanon and jordan still have the land deeds to property they lost to Israel.
