Judaism is a religion and FYI all Middle Eastern people cluster close genetically. In fact South Arabians cluster closer to ancient Levantines than Zionist settlers. Should you instead give the land to them?

We already know Ashkenazi are European https://www.livescience.com/40247-ashkenazi-jews-have-european-genes.html

And are highly susceptible to skin cancer unlike the Palestinians.

Remarkably, although Israeli Arabs, especially men, tend to work more outdoors, melanoma in this sector is rare compared to that of Jewish Israelis.

As for Mizrahis they are from wherever they came from. Yemeni Jews aren’t Palestinians anymore than Yemeni Muslims are Palestinian. Not at all.

If Jews had a continuous presence then why did Zionist leaders refer to themselves and their project as colonialism? https://en.jabotinsky.org/media/9747/the-iron-wall.pdf

You should read the Iron Wall Essay. In it Jabotinsky clearly states that Zionism is colonialism and accurately predicts that the Palestinians will resist since “all natives resist colonialists”.

If Jews had a continuous presence how did they come by the hundreds of thousands on ships? There were Palestinian Jews who are indigenous but Judaism is a religion, Jews from France or Morocco are not indigenous.

If you want to argue that people that haven’t been in Palestine before Zionism are indigenous then you still need to explain how that gives them the right to expel people already there from their lands.

I have been arguing with Zionists for years, and other than myths and lies to justify their colonialism of Palestine, the only solid argument they ever gave is “might makes right”. I can see Zionists believe in it, Jabotinsky and the Likud clearly do. At which I say it took 132 years to liberate Algeria, it took 7 centuries to liberate Ireland. No one is mighty forever.

it took 7 centuries to liberate Ireland. No one is mighty forever.

When do you think Canada will be liberated and the indigenous return to power?

I don’t know, but it may happen in the future. For now they are suffering a brutal occupation that kidnaps and sterilizes their women and poisons and steals their lands.

If it turns out that evil has forever won in Canada, that doesn’t make evil good and doesn’t disqualify the Palestinians from resisting. We have many examples of indigenous peoples eventually liberating their lands.

I brought up Canada because of the parallels of colonization in Palestine.

I only argued against your claim that "no one is mighty forever" as if it is inevitable.
