20% of Israeli citizens are Arabs today, with full rights.

Look up what the Arab leaders said at the time.

Zionists could've accepted the Palestinian proposal of a mutli-ethnic democracy spanning all of Palestine

What offer are you talking about?

20% of Israeli citizens are Arabs today, with full rights.

And is 80% Jews not an overwhelming majority? Again, Zionists committed a whole ethnic cleansing campaign to get the Palestinian proportion of the population that low, and they did not in fact have full rights until 1967. Everything the Palestinian and Arab side feared would happen did.

What offer are you talking about?

In its debates, the UN divided its member States into two subcommittees: one to address options for partition and a second to address all other options. The Second Subcommittee, which included all the Arab and Muslim States members, issued a long report arguing that partition was illegal according to the terms of the Mandate and proposing a unitary democratic state that would protect rights of all citizens equally.

-Wikipedia

Apparently it was an Arab proposal rather than a Palestinian one, so my bad there. Still, it was an option that was being talked about. And speaking of which, stop referring to Palestinians as Arabs. There are north of 300 million Arabs only about 10 million of which are Palestinian.

Edit: You also didn't respond to my Ben Gurion quote. This is the George Washington of Israel and he said "We must expel Arabs and take their place", in 1937.
