It is not correct to say that the Jews are not.

I agree. Didn't mean to imply otherwise. Did I imply otherwise?

But I do think realities have to take precedent. Native Americans have a claim on this land going back thousands of years. But this is now the USofA. Rightly or wrongly, that isn't going to change. The aboriginal people of Australia aren't getting Australia back. Etc. It's unreasonable to expect lines to be redrawn in the modern age without a lot of push-back.

Arguably, it was wrong to say to Palestine "hey, you no longer exist...these other folks also have a claim on the land, and they're moving in". As I understand it, many Palestinians were displaced; their land taken (stolen, really). That wasn't cool. I suspect there was a lot of land not privately owned where they could have settled. Though, I must confess ignorance about many of the details. I just know the general history.
