Are there any of them trying to lay claim to it? And I was making the point that saying one side is fighting for its indigenous land is true for both sides in the conflict, and is pointless to say as a result.
That is my point. Saying the Palestinians are fighting colonizers for their indigenous land is incorrect and stupid because both sides of the conflict are indigenous to the land.
The indigenous people are the (presumably) mesopotamian nomads that eventually became sedentary farmers in the early stages of the Bronze Age.

Yes. Both the Israelis and the Palestinians probably descended from them. Their common ancestor was first.
Well would you look at that, the Jews are indigenous to the land.
So are the Palestinians. Your point?
The nomads turned settlers were not Jewish. Jews didn’t exist back then.
