Sorry, but the delusion that :
The Jews seem to be "imposing" their will on all other "ancient people" of the land.
There is no such thing.
The Jewish People are the most ancient of those people. The Palestinian Arabs are not. Neither would be the Greeks, the Romans or any other people who stayed after they invaded and conquered the land after the Jewish People had established themselves over 3000 years ago.
There are no Philistines.
There are no Amorites.
There are no Hitites, etc. to come and claim the land as the ancient people from that very place.
There are no Romans, Greeks, Crusaders claiming anything over the Jewish People's rights to their ancient homeland.
Are you to tell me that all people who now inhabit Kurdistan (even though not allow to declare Independence) have the same National rights as the descendants of the ancient Kurds?
Do the Yazidis who fled to that area have the right to demand some National rights to the land, which should only be for the Kurdish people?
We will have to agree to disagree on this, since I don't want to derail this into another thread on who is indiginous. There are multiple indiginous groups there, and they all have rights.
The question is - how do you maintain equality? In most modern countries citizenship confers nationality rights.
It is a very simple example, which shows how the descendants of the Jewish People are the ones with the rights for any National self-determination definition on that land.
It does not take away one bit the rights of all of those who are not Jewish, and are either citizens or residents of Israel.
Their rights are written in the laws of the land.
What they do not have the right to do, as Arabs, etc, is to demand that Israel be their Ancestral national anything in place of the Jewish People's rights, which is Exactly what the Muslim Arabs have been doing in the past decades with their endless "The Jews are from Europe", "There was no Temple Mount", "There were no Jews in the area", etc, which continues to come hard and furious from the Arab side.
Why does it have to be
in place of? Why can't any citizen of Israel have nationality rights in Israel? If a Palestinian state is ever established, there will likely be Jewish communities within it. Jewish communities in those areas should have every right to nationality rights within Palestine.

Individual rights, Netanyahu said, are anchored in many of the Jewish state’s (existing) laws, but not so Jewish national rights.
No one was harmed by the Nationality Law and no one intends to to harm anyone’s individual rights.

Netanyahu at Cabinet Meeting: Israel is the National State of the Jewish People, Exclusively

The only reason why so many are complaining is because it is the State of the Jews.
Any other place on the planet, they will never care less.
I think that remains to be seen. Most other modern countries do not confer nationality rights only to one ethnic group.

That is exactly the point:'
There are NO OTHER INDIGENOUS PEOPLE with rights to the land and self determination but the Jewish People.
There never has been.
No other people has ever declared indigenous rights to the land of Israel before 1948.
Self Determination is different from "National Rights" to think of myself as an American.
I am not descendant from the First Nations of America. Not one of them.
I do not have the right to demand the same rights to self determination over their ancestral lands as they do. I never will.
Therefore, if the Apaches choose to declare self-determination over their ancient homeland, no other First Nation can do the same, and neither can any European or Asian who came over after 1492.
Therefore, here we have the Arabs, who came into the land 2400 years after the Jewish People established their Nation, culture, etc, saying that They have exactly the same rights, or worse, they have more rights to self-determination over the land then the Jewish People.
And that is exactly what you and others cannot come to understand.
