Mexicans, then, would be indigenous to Texas and by your "logic" they could use the most advanced military equipment on earth to slaughter, evacuate and then enslave all the survivors.Palestine had been invaded, conquered, and occupied many times. Palestine was a center for world trade for thousands of years. Many people came and left.
However, there is a core group of people who stayed and put down roots. Those are the people who built the place where they live.
Those people are the Palestinians.
While I have no argument that the invaders who stayed and put down roots are Palestinians and as such have rights to sovereignty in Palestine -- this is not the same as "indigenous".
No reasonable person can argue that the Jewish people aren't indigenous to Israel.
The question, as it relates to sovereignty, has always been whether or not a people removed from an indigenous territory retain their "belonging" to the indigenous group over generations.
Picture them building a damn wall around Dallas and then think how well that would work out.
Hey Louie. Tell those Zionists, was there an Israel before 1948?
