Conquest was not illegal back then. It was in1948.Let's not confuse the nutters with the facts.The Jews were Europeans, from another continent. They were of course colonizers. But don't take it from me, they said it clearly themselves, even in the New York Times.
"An article about a Conference of Zionists published on July 20, 1899 in the New York Times expresses that the Zionists “will colonize Palestine.”
The straightforward and comfortable manner with which the colonization is pursued is indicative how, before having to be concerned with the image of Zionism and public relations, Zionist leaders depicted their movement as a colonial mission during a time in which European nations were colonial powers."![]()

"Successful Jewish Colonization Will Extend Beyond Palestine Frontier, Weizmann Tells Actions Committee"
“Due to the success of our colonization work in Palestine proper, it is possible that eventually our colonization work will be extended beyond the frontiers of Transjordania. It is true that the Palestine government has not taken a clear stand in regard to its economic policy, but well founded demands have every prospect of being agreed to.

Europeans are not the indigenous people of Palestine. The indigenous people of Palestine are people that have always lived in Palestine. The Arabians were not settler colonists no more than the Crusaders were. They conquered to rule (and tax) the native people. How many people do you think the Arabian desert could support in those days?
Changing religion from Judaism to Christianity, as the indigenous Jews (and Samaritans and Pagans) of Palestine did after Christianity became the Roman State religion, , does not change their ancestry. They remain the indigenous people though they follow Christianity and Islam. The Zionists were Europeans.
And for the coup de grace, here is something from a site that cannot possibly be anti-Israel called eretzyisroel.org.
"Native Population almost wholly descended from Jews who had been forcibly converted to Christianity, and later Islam, not Arab in origin
In Palestine the "small" number of Arab invaders who had been imported by the Arabian conquerors were wiped out by disease. Thus the "myth" of the "Palestinian Arab" descending "from the Arab conquerors" appears to be factually incorrect for all but perhaps a few. Supporting Hogarth, Hitti, and Lewis, the Reverend Parkes found thatDuring the first century after the Arab conquest the caliph and governors of Syria and The Land [Palestine] ruled almost entirely over Christian and Jewish subjects. Apart from the bedouin [nomads], in the earliest days the only Arabs west of the Jordan (not all of whom were themselves Muslims) were the garnisons... "
Native Population almost wholly descended from Jews who had been forcibly converted
Correct. The fact is: the Jewish people were invited / encouraged to immigrate to the area called Palestine to re establish the Jewish National Home.
