Anyone see this?

Netanyahu has said similar things in the past. It doesn't really change the heart of the disagreement.

Israel felt threatened in the 60s. Probably rightly so. They launched attacks on Syria, Egypt and Jordan. They claimed land belonging to those countries and kicked out the Palestinians, who — understandably — want their homeland back. Israel says what most people who win wars say, tough luck, we won, get out. It's not as much about ethnic cleansing as it is about wanting what Palestinians see as an occupying army removed from their land.
