Still clueless, I see.Still purposely conflating Europeans with biblical Jews, I see.The Jewish "people" ... that were indigenous to Palestine, converted to Christianity almost 2,000 years ago. Those Christians, for the most part, then converted to Islam.
Fine. Sure. No one is really arguing against this in its broadest terms.
What we are discussing is how these events influence your understanding of the Israel/Arab conflict and how you use it to formulate an argument (or a set of rules, guidelines and policies) to make your case.
The Jewish people that were indigenous to the territory, were overtaken (expelled, murdered, forcibly converted, colonized) by an external force. These circumstances negated the indigenous Jewish peoples rights to the territory.
The Roman Christian rulers of the territory were then overtaken (expelled, murdered, forcibly or voluntarily converted, colonized) by an external force. These circumstances negated the rights of the previous rulers.
The Arab Muslim rulers of the territory were then overtaken (expelled, murdered, forcibly or voluntarily converted, colonized) by an external force. These circumstances, if your argument is consistent, negated the rights of the previous rulers.
The Jewish Israeli rulers of the territory are now the ones who hold the rights to that territory. At least, it would be, if your argument was consistent.
