The legal basis? There is no need for laws. The law is the matter of fact. What do you think was the legal basis for the Poles and Czech to expropriate and expell 15 million of Germans living in Posen, West-, Ostpreußen, Pommern, Sudetenland? 2 million Germans died during the trip with destination W Germany. We had 13 million refugees. And don´t try to say that these Germans were criminals and deserved their fate.
These numbers are a little bit higher than the numbers of Palestinians "refugees" or jewish settlers.
The Poles and Czech going along with the Soviets have made facts. Against the law. Same in MidEast. The Palestinians live in WB and Gaza, the jewish Israelis in the rest of the "country". That´s the way it is, and that´s why there should be the expropriation of the settlers.

Gremany didn't put these people into permanant refugee camps, and cultivate hatred in them, and turn them into cross-border terrorists and suicide bombers either, to their credit.

1.3 million Palestinians live in Israel, 250,000 Jews live in Samaria and Judea, if you want to be technical about it. The truth is, that Israel has as much claim to the Samaria and Judea as anyone - More so than the Palestinians, in fact.
Israel is a tiny country, and while 22 of it's neighbors (soon to be 23 , unfortunantely) have been trying to destroy it for 55 years, it can't give up strategic depth for promised peace when such promises have fallen flat in the past, and when those countries don't even recognize it's existance. For that matter, abu Mazen demands a Palestinian state, but refuses to admit that Israel is a Jewish state. Your solution might sound fair to you prima facie, but under the surface it's a lie. Israel can't make peace with JUST the Palestinians Authority while the other Arab nations continue to sponsor terrorism against Israel launched from future Palesine.
