We might as well welcome the Navajo to reoccupy Arizona and Utah, and forcibly remove the white settlers who have been there for the last 200 years.

I was pushing back on the settler-colonial framework being applied to Israel. Under that framework, your statement above is absolutely correct. It might not be practical to do that, but the Navajo are indigenous to Arizona and Utah, were wrongfully dispossessed of their lands, and would legitimately have a claim to autonomy in that region if it were practical. If the Navajo were to return to Arizona and Utah, it would be completely wrong to describe them as "colonizing" that area.

By the time the UN resolution on the partition of the Mandate rolled around, some of the Jews living in the area had been there for centuries (the original Yishuv), many more had been living there for several decades, and a large number of them had been born there. So even under your framework, they're "from" that part of the world.
But even under settler-colonial theory, because the Jews are an original population indigenous to that area, they are not "colonizers" of that area when they return.
