some blatant presumptions, but history I did not know.
The Brits have certainly made a mess of history.
But others have as well.

Do you expect them to absorb Gazans and leave all territories to Israel?

No, but there are many Israelis whose families were expelled from Iraq, Iran, Egypt, and so on after the Israeli declaration of Independence. These MIzrahi Jews are more than willing to cede their old property in Iraq, Iran, etc to the Palestinians. I have heard many of them say it, though with a heavy dose of sarcasm.

Sure. After all, the Jews of Babylon were only living there continuously since Nebuchadnezzar, what rights do they have?

Not to mention how many people seem to think that the returning Jews of Babylon were actually white European colonizers.

Following the 1948 Arab-Israeli war, persecution against Jews culminated in increased government oppression and cultural discrimination. The Iraqi government, while maintaining a public policy of discrimination against Iraq Jews, simultaneously forbid Jews from emigrating to Israel out of concern for strengthening the nascent Israeli state. Nonetheless, in 1950, the Iraqi government reversed course and declared that Jews would be permitted to emigrate in exchange for renouncing their Iraqi citizenship. In the following two years from 1950 to 1952, nearly the entire Iraqi Jewish population emptied out from Iraq to Israel through Operation Ezra and Nehemiah. Historians estimate that 120,000–130,000 Iraqi Jews (around 75% of the entire community) reached Israel.[10][11] The remainder of the Jewish population continued to dwindle in the ensuing decades; by the 2020s, less than a handful of Iraqi Jews still reside in Iraq.
