This constantly regurgitated false narrative goes just like this recent e-mail that was received:
"But If Israel wants to keep the West bank it has to extend citizenship to all its legal residents."
"Remember what the US did to Milosevic for trying to put people on buses and ship them out?"
[ Now that is the usual 'ethnic-cleansing' false charge propaganda]
[In actuallity it is the Fatah Palestinian Authority leadership that wants the ethnic-cleansing of hundreds of thousands of Israelis from their own land of Judea and Samaria.]
"Conquered land comes with its subjects. Land comes with people. If you want to keep the land, you have to accept the people. It's a package deal. "
False narrative.
First, Israel is not an "occupying" conquerer. Israel does not occupy one inch of Arab land.
In June of 1967 Israel fought a war of self-defense. In the process recovered land that historically belongs to Israel that had been under "foreign occupation" for 2,000 years. Including Islamist occupation.
It was Imperialist Muslim armies that invaded, occupied, and colonized the Middle East and northern Africa in the 7th century.
Not to mention the Ottoman Muslim and British occupations.
The Arab residents are free to have full citizenship and govern themselves in their own "autonomy" within Judea and Samaria. They do not need to become citizens of Israel.

That’s correct. The land not only belongs to Israel from time immemorial, but it was also given/re-given it in modern times by the last ‘fief-holder’: Britain.
The Jews had to claim their old/new lands for themselves: and did so with great skill and perseverance in the face of the usual fanatic Muslim hatred and international antipathy. Kudos to them!
keep for history
