Google's quick answer to "Are Palestinians Arabs?" comes from the website of a right-wing Israeli scientist/politician.

I wanted to respond to the intro of the 2nd video.

Jabotinsky wrote The Iron Wall after the 1920 Nebi Musa riots undermined the possibility of peaceful immigration to Palestine. It seems like it was encouraged by the British occupiers.

Storrs issued a warning to Arab leaders, but deployed only 188 policemen.

He starts the essay with

I am reputed to be an enemy of the Arabs, who wants to have them ejected from Palestine, and so forth. It is not true. Emotionally, my attitude to the Arabs is the same as to all other nations – polite indifference. Politically, my attitude is determined by two principles. First of all, I consider it utterly impossible to eject the Arabs from Palestine. There will always be two nations in Palestine – which is good enough for me, provided the Jews become the majority. And secondly, I belong to the group that once drew up the Helsingfors Programme , the programme of national rights for all nationalities living in the same State. In drawing up that programme, we had in mind not only the Jews, but all nations everywhere, and its basis is equality of rights.

Jabotinsky was for human rights.

The previous government to legitimately own the west bank of the Jordan and the Judean hills further west, and the Gaza strip, was the Ottoman Empire. Britain, Transjordan/Jordan and Egypt were illegal occupiers. They broke the 4th geneva convention by carrying out

Individual or mass forcible transfers, as well as deportations of protected persons from occupied territory to the territory of the Occupying Power or to that of any other country

mass forcible transfers from occupied territory to the territory of any other country

i. e. kicking the Jews out of those territories. They used gravestones as paving stones, and demolished Jewish holy sites.

It's ridiculous to expect Israel to prohibit its citizens from moving to those territories. As the text on the video quotes,

The Occupying Power shall not deport or transfer parts of its own civilian population into the territory it occupies.

transfer parts of its own civilian population

This implies removing people from one place and putting them somewhere else. Israel never removed its own civilian population from their homes and made them go live on a settlement somewhere. It didn't do even the first part -- until 2005.

If we say that Gaza is occupied territory, then Ariel Sharon violated the 4th Geneva convention in 2005 by causing

mass forcible transfers from occupied territory to the territory of the Occupying Power

Ariel Sharon commited the war crime of ethnic cleansing against 10,000 Jews.

That's right, Israel violated the Geneva Convention in 2005.
