The vast majority of Jews currently in Israel have been there less than a century.

It kind of is what it is though. I'm not saying it's a great situation but you could make a lot of parallel arguments to the Europeans settling in the Americas. And also the local Palestinian bourgeoisie kind of sold out the lower class natives by continuing to sell their land to European Jewish settlers.

The Zionists BOUGHT THE LAND...it was worthless UNTIL after 1948 when the Israelis turned desert into farmland.

I think the point is that there is not one square inch of this planet for which it is possible to identify the “original” inhabitants.

Who cares? All that matters is who’s the strongest, and Jews/Israelites are far stronger and together than the Muslim/Arabs are. Land has never been decided by who’s right it is to it. All that matters is who’s the most powerful group. The Jews lost the land at one time because the Muslims were a more powerful force at one point in time.

Palestine was what the Romans called the region after kicking out the bar majority of the Jews following the wars. From the moment the Romans dissolved the Jewish state until it was reformed in 1948 there never was another national polity in the region, and there is an unbroken history of Jewish habitation in the region. It's funny to me that nobody acknowledges that 80% if what was called Palestine is already contained in an Arab state, it's called Jordan, and that the Palestinians and the Jordanians are the same people.

I mean, it’s not like it was Muslim land anyways. It was British territory. Muslims weren’t a force without the Ottoman Empire. Collapse of the Ottomans was the nail in the coffin for Muslim power.

It was called Palestine before that.

Well, the concept of a nation state is a modern one. Ancient Israel certainly wasn't one.

Eh. So what?

Does not matter at all. Israel has it now. There is no Palestine.
Hamas leadership needs a few thousand rockets sent into its homes.
We know where they live. Just waste those piles of crap.

If you start referring to them as Semites or Semitic tribes, you will come closer to finding the answer to your riddle.
