Another indigenous people freeing themselves from the Pan-Arabism and Arab occupation of their ancestral lands, using the exact same precedent You're trying to avoid discussing.
Kurds from all parts of the world take part in this.
This is not accurate in the least.
But, to be clear, if any group comes from one continent to claim the land of others in today's world, it is wrong and sets a dangerous precedent moving forward.
You see You don't want to discuss. Just pretend continents or distance make any difference.
I'd like to see the shock in case some indigenous tribe decides they need a self determination in their familial lands...say in in Milwaukee.
Can Americans claim their homeland in Asia?
Can the Romans claim Britain?
I don't know enough, let's stay in the middle east.
As 'Americans' they can't claim anything like that by definition -as much as the Arabian tribes in Levant are not indigenous but invading colonizers.
However Catalonians or Kurds with an US citizenship can join an effort to get self determination in land that bares their name (if they wish to identify as such).
If I understand the zionist position, there is the idea that if a people were somewhere in ancient times, that they still retain rights to that land.
Now, since we came from Asia, across the Bering Straight, would this ideology not give Americans the right to demolish homes in Asia today, demolish entire cities even? Can we go on to murder and expel those living there today? If any remain, can we imprison them behind walls? Can we use our military to enforce a new government upon them based on our laws, in our cities built where theirs just stood?
Okay? Do you understand the question?
