They lost their land, whether it was fair and square or by hook and crook, they lost it and just because they claim to have owned it long ago doesn’t make them the rightful owners now.

They can easily live there in peace by being part of Israel. They do not need to bring the terrorists with them.

Your comparison is flawed. Telling the Palestinians to "go back to Jordan" would be like telling the indigenous people from within the modern U.S. to "go back to Canada or Mexico." You're telling them to go back somewhere that they didn't come from.

If the two-state solution were implemented and negotiated, the Palestinians likely wouldn't end up with terrorist leaders. The reason they put those people in power is because Israel gives them ammunition through their continued settlement building and violence. It is a perpetual cycle of violence from Hamas and IDF violence that gives the terrorists the power they have. If you want to break that cycle then you have to stop giving the terrorists their ammunition for propaganda. The two-state solution was the original plan, if you stick with that plan then you aren't letting them win because it predates them and it removes what they use to gain power.
