Uh, I wasn't talking about Gaza or Israel but the whole of Palestine. In 1880 or so, Zionists, mainly from Europe, travelled to Palestine and began buying up land with the express purpose of displacing Palestinians. Underhanded and cruel, but legal.

This plan stalled once the Palestinians figured out what was going on, so terrorist organisations like the Irgun started taking land by force. Illegal.

These European Zionists found in Palestine Muslims and Christians and, of course, Jews, ALL OF WHOM had been living there for thousands of years. This is one of the many reasons it's so dishonest to conflate anti-Zionism with anti-semtism.

The Jews who were living in Palestine were, of course, indigenous to the land. Or, at least, had a valid claim to indigeneity. No sane person, and certainly not me, denies or challenges their right to live in the place they'd been living peacefully with Arabs for thousands of years.

But the Zionist colonisers who went there in the 18-1900s and forcefully displaced the non-Jews have no such claim. Just as I have no claim to indigeneity to Africa just because some of my ancestors lived there at some unknown point in the past.

I have no right to rock up in Kenya, displace a white family living there, and say, "Sorry, my ancestors lived here 4000 years ago, so leave or I'll kill you." See how that works?
