You are leaving out the radical Islamic determination never to accept a Jewish state under any circumstances. No compromise, no agreement will make the practitioners of radical Islam happy. If Jews were to withdraw from the entire land of Israel except for Tel Aviv, and build a ghetto wall around it, Hamas and Hezbollah would be firing rockets at it.
Have you not read the Hamas charter? They state that no compromise, no negotiation, no political situation is possible, there is only one answer, violence and death.
Jewish values - at least according to the Tanakh, I know little about the Talmud - allow for the necessary and essential destruction of Hezbollah and Hamas.
You say "We have always been suspected and discriminated against by those amongst whom we have lived. Within living memory we were expelled from homes we'd known for centuries or millennia, or just murdered, by those amongst whom we lived."
And in those places, were you calling for the destruction of anyone? Firing rockets and sending suicide bombers?
Jews were law abiding citizens in all of those places where they resided. And you now feel sorry for those who want to kill you?
As to Palestinians who are willing to accept Israel and live with it, they should be afforded as much consideration as possible, of course.
