Arabs were well on their way to doing this in 47. It was their stated goal. I know no reason to believe otherwise unless peace is somehow guaranteed by the US which I dont think is feasbile. Also what happened to the pals occurred because of what they tried to do. If someone attacked your country with the goal of annihilating you, believe me you would have takena a lot tougher action than israel did back then. The whole goal in post Indy war was to negotiate a peace in exchange for recognition but the arabs would not sit at the same table. What is it that is so hard for you to understand.

Now you're the spokesperson for the Muslims? How in the world did you get the ability to determine what non-Jews would do if they were offered complete equality under the law in the entirety of the disputed land? Hmmmm? He's listening to what the Palestinians say they will do. Good idea, why don't you try it? Just look at the negotiations so far. In every Israeli/Pal negotiations it is an uncontroverted fact that a million Arabs can remain in Israel but not one single Jew can remain in Palestine. You presume the non-Jews would do to the Jews what the Israelis did to the Palestinians in 1948, but as with all things that are in the future, you really have no idea..... No need to presume, just look at 1948. Most Arabs who fled were not pushed or threatened by the Jews at all; and many remained. Those who remained were not harmed or killed and became citizens of Israel. But what happened to the Jews of Palestine who lived in land that was taken by Transjordan, the Jews of Gush Etzion or the Old City of Jerusalem? Not a single one was allowed to remain. All traces of their existence were blown up after they were gone.
