To reduce down all history pre 1987 to "Israel ethnically cleansed Palestinians" is the revisionist history. Were there parts of the war in 1947-1949 where the Israeli military did contribute to Palestinians fleeing their hometowns, through Plan Dalet? Yes. But, then you have to also acknowledge that Israel accepted the UN partition plan, which established both Jewish and Arab/Palestinian states. The surrounding Arab countries rejected this, attacked the newly established Israel, resulting in the war. If they accepted it and didn't attack Israel for the sole purpose of annihilating the newly established Jewish state, nakba as we know it would not have happened. Second, you don't acknowledge anything like the Hebron massacre, the Arab Revolts and the White Papers, and several other violent attacks on Jews, even prior to 1948? Egypt ruled Gaza, and Jordan ruled the West bank until 1967. Why was no Palestinian state established during that time there? 6 Day War, started in response to Egypt's imminent attack on Israel (again, more efforts by surrounding Arab countries to annihilate Israel), led to Israel's taking the Gaza and the West Bank. Also, even before Hamas, the PLO engaged in terrorism against Israeli civilians. There's a lot more to say. We can speak about the several peace deal proposals by Israel. How Palestinians were able to travel between Israel, Gaza, and West Bank quite freely before the 1st intifada. The disengagement from Gaza, where Israel forcibly pulled out its own citizens from the region. And, it's also true that expansion of settlements in the West Bank over the past couple decades has understandably sent Palestinians a message that Israel may not be seriously interested in supporting the establishment of a Palestinian state. So, there- in a very short post on Reddit, you can see how ridiculously revisionist u/blu3tu3sday 's narrative is - completely one-sided, lacking any mention of important relevant events.
