if you can look at a map of the disposition of illegal Israeli settlements in the West Bank and military control there, I suppose a two-state solution is possible if one of the states is a series of isolated Bantustans. As to who was forcibly removed, I'm more inclined to take the word of the Palestinians, the UN, and most non-Zionist historians. They put the number at around 700,000.

Suggesting that Jews have a right to an ethnic/religious state of their own is like saying that Christians have a right to their own country on American soil and that only Christians are entitled to equal privileges and protection under the law because they have a right to live here and others don't. If half the people in the US were not Christians, they might refuse to accept a Christian state for the same reasons Palestinians refuse to accept a Jewish state in Israel.
