Of course those wrongs should not be dismissed. Those are serious wrongs and need to be fixed. I'm of the belief that the entire western world needs to be dismantled and it's causing great harm. But "occupying other people's land" is not a good justification here, since that land has by and large traded hands many generations ago. Israel is different.
I do not wish to see hundreds of millions of non-indigenous people shipped out of North America back to wherever their ancestors used to live in order to re-establish the sovereignty of a small minority of people. Let's solve inequality and inequity in sane and non-violent ways instead.

Who's calling for this?
When people said "the Russian Empire should not exist" in 1915 they were talking about replacing the existing political structure with something like the USSR, not depopulating the country in its entirety.

People's nationalist brainworms go so deep they immediately conflate people with the state.
Fair enough. I wouldn't be entirely opposed to depopulating Israel though (if some safe way to do this were possible).
This is also not what the overwhelming majority of Palestinians want.
It would not be my preferred solution either.
