Maybe. Though you have missed out the second part - which doesn't talk about cleansing - it only talks about end of occupation.

Only one side is an illegally occupying power who took the land by force from the people who were peacefully living there.

And don't quote me events from ~2000 years ago.

If everyone held grudges that long the whole world would be at war.

The people in the West bank currently being driven from their homes - they aren't a threat to Israel - they are just farmers working their land. Trying to pick their olives.

It's a false equivalence to say there are two sides, on the one hand and the other.
