and the Israeli state accepts the return of approximately 450,000 diaspora Palestinians (which equals approximately the number of illegal settlers now living in Occupied Palestinian Territory) to live inside Israel as Israeli citizens

why this part? you seem to be suggesting that if Palestine has to take some Jews within its borders, then Israel should have to take an equal number of Palestinians. what is the point of that?

since the settlers have been living in a specific place from before the establishment of a Palestinian state, (from the time when this land was de facto unclaimed territory), if they were willing to give up their israeli citizenship for a Palestinian one, then what right does Palestine have to evict them, or to even put conditions on their remaining in their homes?

In other words... if the settlers abandon their Israeli citizenships, then don't they have the same right to live there (presumably within a new palestinian state), as any of the Arab Palestinians do?
