Decent countries would have afforded the indigenous populations of Palestine their rights throughout all of Palestine, especially as called for by international resolutions passed by the UN, the very international body that the Zionists point to to justify their international legitimacy.
Are you claiming that Palistinians are inherently different than the Arab Israeli citizens that vote in elections, and live in Israel? The problem is that the West Bank is crucial for Israeli security, since without the West Bank, Israel is the hour glass shape that allowed an ancient enemy to split the country in half, and resulted in the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel (sold into slavery). So, since Israel is not going to sacrifice its security, after four wars by Arab armies intent on annihilating them, I guess many might say they are concerned with survival, rather than that concept of decency you talk of. And, you still haven't explained why under Jordan, or the Ottoman Empire, the Palestinians did not have their epiphany as to their indigenous identity? Pray tell, Sire!
No opinion is going to persuade you, I believe, that your opinion is valid based on your values, and my opinion is valid based on my values. I do not want to convert you to my thinking, since I understand how your opinion is shared by many. And, my values are the values of a New York Jew by way of late nineteenth century Czarist Russia. Do you know what a pogrom is?
