Quibble. After the 1967 war, the Palestinians were offered Israeli citizenship. As part of these discussions, I looked up some details and read that. They refused. So they were welcomed as potential citizens, but declined. That's on them.

Double quibble - I believe what you're referring to is the offer of citizenship to Palestinian residents of East Jerusalem, the portion of the West Bank that was actually annexed into Israel after the 1967 war. The rest of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip were not annexed into Israel, and I'm pretty sure that none of those residents were offered Israeli citizenship.
