Re-occupation is by definition a temporary measure. Does he promote annexation or an autonomous or independent Palestinian state? In the long run, those are the only two options. From what I can see, de-Nazification (in the sense he probably means it) would involve the arrest, deportation or execution of the majority of Palestinians. (As it would if we had really de-Nazified Germany after WWII).

I'm not necessarily opposed to that, but I think using the euphemism "de-Nazification" is cowardly. If he thinks most or all Palestinians should be expelled, he should have the guts to actually say so.

I don't know what Plaut's more detailed views are, and I don't claim to have the answers. But I think that whether the analogue of de-Nazification of the ethnic Arabs in the area would amount to "most or all" being expelled is an empirical question, depending not on Israeli policies but on how how wide and deep Nazi-like attitudes are among the Arabs. You seem to be implying that implacably murderous attitudes toward Jews characterize "most or all" Arabs. That may be true, but I still have hope that a large number of non-Jews in the area can eventually come to live peacefully and productively with the Jews. Despite being a Jewish state, Israel has come closer to bringing to reality a multi-ethnic polity than anybody else in the area. But if "most or all" Arabs have genocide as their deepest desire, then would have to be definitively separated from those they want to kill. That's my opinion (as a non-Jewish, non-Muslim, non-Arab outside). I'm not sure what Plaut's views are, but I don't see him as cowardly if he hedges about aspects of the situation that are not up to him such as how deeply bloodthirsty "all or most" Arabs are.
