So the people who left Israel in 1948 and who now live with their descendants in refugee camps in Lebanon, Gaza and the West Bank are free to return to Israel?

What percentage of the population of the West Bank were Jewish in 1967? The proper term for what's going on is colonisation or perhaps plantation.

If you're correct about the the majority of the West Bank population being there for less than 3 generations, then I can give you 2 reasons for this. 1: The former residents of that part of Palestine that became Israel who upon the formation of the state moved to the West Bank. 2: The increase in the Jewish population.

First you reject my data as 'ancient history', then you come up with your own arbitrary points in time to measure who should be allowed to live in the region. With that, your definition of the term 'palestinian', and your characterization of Jewish presence as 'occupation' and 'plantation', it's become clear where you stand. You think Jews and Christians have no right to live in the Middle East, and that leaves us with nothing to discuss.
Who do you think you are, Sigmund Freud? Of course Jews and Christians have a right to live in the Middle East. I hope you are not an Israeli and if you are that you belong to the lunatic fringe.
