My ancestors are italian, so basically roman, so I deserve to steal the home and everything else from any fr*nch "people".

Hell, I deserve to steal Palestinian land too, it's in the bible, Rome conquered their asses, I deserve it!

Maybe the demographics of Palestine region can help: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographic_history_of_Palestine_(region)

There were just 2.000 Jewish people left in Palestine in the 17th century. End of 19th century there were like 40k of them, when the Jewish Colonial Association started with the massive organized colonization of the region. So, by 1947, Palestine ended up with around 600k+ Jews, the vast majority of them, obviously Zionists.

There argument is really, that 2000 years ago, they were the majority in the region, therefore everyone calling themselves a Jew today, is considered "native" to Palestine.

Haven't read it yet but

More serious analysis came from biblical scholars who were not influenced by Zionism, such as Keith Whitelam, Thomas Thompson, and the Israeli scholar, Israel Finkelstein, all of whom reject the Bible as a factual account of any significance. Whitelam and Thompson also doubt the existence of anything like a nation in biblical times and, like others, criticize what they call the “invention of modern Israel” as the work of pro-Zionist Christian theologians. The latest and most updated deconstruction of this idea came in Shlomo Sand’s two books, The Invention of the Jewish People and The Invention of the Land of Israel. I respect and appreciate this scholarly effort. Politically, however, I think it is less significant than the assumption that denies the existence of the Palestinians (although it is the complement of that assumption). People are entitled to invent themselves, as so many national movements have done in their moment of inception. But the problem becomes acute if the genesis narrative leads to political projects such as genocide, ethnic cleansing, and oppression.

If you are white I'm not going to believe if you say you are Indigenous African or East Asian. So why would anyone think white Jewish people are indigenous to West Asia where all the other people are brown? If the settler isaelis were even mostly indigenous they wouldn't be whiter than greeks.

"Indigenous" means originating or naturally occurring in an area. If you put a few bison in a herd of cows in Australia for 900 generations would the descendants be indigenous to the planes of north america?

The problem stems from the belief that "Jewish" is a race when really it is a religion and a culture. What makes a person Jewish is not genetic because people can convert. When people convert to Judaism they take on the culture and history and abandon their own which creats a false narrative over time. European Jews are Jewish but other than a few ancestors 1800 years back they have no connection to the land.

I'm sorry for recommending a youtuber, but BadEmpanada has a video about that exact subject called israelis Are Not Indigeneous which has some good points and rebuttals about it.

There are two books titled “The myth of the Jewish race.” The earlier one by Rafael Patai, predates much of modern genetics and relies heavily on blood-type studies, but does some very interesting historical and statistical population analysis. It’s unfortunate that Patai stepped far outside of his area of expertise as a historian when he wrote “The Arab Mind,” a terribly stereotypical work that was later used as a torture manual by the U.S. under the GWB security state.

I haven’t read the 2005 title subtitled “A Biologist’s point of view” it could be interesting.

There is also an 1930s essay by Cecil Roth entitled “The Jew as European” where he debunks race science talking points.

Here's a really good video that discusses the subject amongst several other things: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7hK5_Rj--8
