#1 Most 'indigenous' people of Palestine, like Los Angelenos, seem to have come...

#2 Mark Twain traveled through the area prior to the Zionist movement and found it mostly empty. I believe the Jews came and the area prospered and Arabs followed.

#4 Dragging up truly ancient history does nobody any good. Just like talking about pre-1947 borders is stupid. They are completely and utterly irrelevant to the matter at hand. The question of if the Palestinians have any claim to any part of Israel is not relevant. They lost a war. They cannot enforce their claim. They must now accept that reality or accept that they will live and die in the miserable poverty of tiny settlements on the edge of the borders between Israel and its neighbors. End of story. If the Palestinians were able to accept their defeat and culturally move on, they would not be so badly off. It is because they focus on their own version of ancient events that they cannot move on.
