    The indigenous people are the (presumably) mesopotamian nomads that eventually became sedentary farmers in the early stages of the Bronze Age.

      Are there any of them trying to lay claim to it? And I was making the point that saying one side is fighting for its indigenous land is true for both sides in the conflict, and is pointless to say as a result.

        Yes. Both the Israelis and the Palestinians probably descended from them. Their common ancestor was first.

            So are the Palestinians. Your point?

            The nomads turned settlers were not Jewish. Jews didn’t exist back then.

              That is my point. Saying the Palestinians are fighting colonizers for their indigenous land is incorrect and stupid because both sides of the conflict are indigenous to the land.
