What a load of old bollocks, the people being persecuted are the ones who have lived there for generations, not the recent arrivals.
Ain't you nice to not believe Jews harken back to those early wandering Hebrews. Hey, it was Christians that persecuted Jews for two millenia for what a handful of Jews did by letting Barabas go. So, now you want to say the Jews are new arrivals? Sounds like the rules of the game change according to one's whim.
Jews used to live in the East End of London. Today it is a different demographic. Neighborhoods change.
And, no one is persecuting Palestineans. They are just not pandering to a bunch of people that given the opportunity many often enjoyed seeing suicide bombers blow up cafes, busses, etc. How come the Palestineans don't build their own electric plants? Why should Israel give Palestineans all the comforts of London?
Do you really think that Palestineans can live peacefully next to a modern country that shows them to be living a somewhat backwater existence economically, amongst other criteria? For that alone, I do not see peace there. It's like comparing someone that goes to college and someone that says they do not need a formal education, in my opinion. The two live in different worlds, for all intensive purposes, again in my opinion. Too much water under the bridge for the two groups to really live in peace, I believe. At some point the Palestineans will have their own diaspora, I believe.
