But don't the Palestinians also trace back their ancestry to biblical Israelites and Canaanites (obviously with some admixture from other groups over the past 2000 years)? They just converted to Islam and adopted the Arabic language. But they have just as much if not more claim to the land. After all, they're the people who didn't leave the area of Palestine, unlike the European Jews. The Jews can stay in Israel, but ethnically cleansing the Palestinians is a crime which is not justified by what Europeans or Egyptians or Iraqis have done to local Jewish populations1. 60%, A MAJORITY of Jews in Israel, are descendant of Jews who had already been living in the middle east for literal milenia prior to the founding of Israel, and were driven to drop everything, abandon their property, and flee to the not-yet-official Jewish state in order to escape ethnic cleansing by Arab muslims. These large scale cleansings were in major part inspired by the Nazis
Jewish people who don't condemn the crimes of the state of Israel will face hatred from others just like Muslims who don't condemn Islamist terrorism do
