When you say "indigenous people", do you mean from the beginning of time? Because, contrary to popular myth, they aren't descended from the ancient Canaanites. Israel was just one of many countries conquered by the Arabians. Then there were the Crusades. The area of "Palestine" was constantly being replenished by nomads from Arabia, so it wasn't even a one-time invasion in the 7th century either. So the "Palestinians" are not the descendants of Canaanites who converted to Islam or even Christianity over the years.
The Palestinians are just the people that have always lived in Palestine. Invasions are undertaken by armies of men, much smaller in numbers than the population conquered. Palestinian Christians and Muslims are therefore as indigenous to Palestine as today's Italians are to Italy, which underwent much larger invasions than those of Palestine. (DNA analysis has shown that the basic DNA of Italians has not changed much from pre-Roman times).
Given the tiny populations that the desert can support, the conquering Arabians were very few in number and made up the officer corps of the Islamic armies. The bulk of the troops were recent local converts. And of course the Palestinians are descendants of the Canaanites, as well as the Samaritans, Jews, Philistines, Arabs and Europeans and other peoples that inhabited the area prior to today.
Wow you are full of shit once again. Jews have been going back to Israel for the last 2000 years, over and over, including during the 1400's to 1600's when the Ottomans ask them to. The Palestinians are invading Arabs from neighboring Arab lands.

163. The Arabs of Palestine consider themselves as having a "natural" right to that country, although they have not been in possession of it as a sovereign nation.
166. The desire of the Arab people of Palestine to safeguard their national existence is a very natural desire. However, Palestinian nationalism, as distinct from Arab nationalism, is itself a relatively new phenomenon, which appeared only after the division of the "Arab rectangle" by the settlement of the First World War.
175. The Peel Commission, in referring to the matter, had noted in its report that "there was a time when Arab statesmen were willing to consider giving Palestine to the Jews, provided that the rest of Arab Asia was free. That condition was not fulfilled then, but it is on the eve of fulfilment now".
Great, what does that prove? So what? The New World was not a sovereign nation when the Europeans invaded. The rest is inconsequential and does not make colonization and eviction of the Christian and Muslim residents of Palestine any less of an injustice.

Proves that you're a ******* liar that's trying to prove something that is totally false. There were Jews coming back throughout the last two thousand years, including the ones that came there during the Ottoman Empire. These Jews never converted or became Christian or Muslim, you lying asshole. The land was Ottoman land for 700 years and then the British and French took over the entire Middle East and divided the entire area into the Muslim shitholes we see today, except for Israel which was designated to be the future homeland of the Jews, GOVERNED BY JEWS. The Jews that came from Europe were invited and SUPPOSED to come and join the Jews that were already there throughout history. The fact that the Arab invaders didn't like the idea of a Jewish state because they had adopted Nazi ideology, is TOUGH SHIT.
National Home for the Jewish people. This interpretation was publicly given in Palestine on the 3rd June, 1921, by the High Commissioner in the following words :—
" These words (National Home) mean that
the Jews, who are a people scattered throughout the world, but whose hearts are always turned to Palestine should be enabled to found here their home, and that some amongst them, within the limits fixed by numbers and the interests of the present population, should come to Palestine in order to help by their resources and efforts to develop the country to the advantage of all its inhabitants."
This interpretation was endorsed by the Secretary of State in his speech to the House of Commons on the 14th June, 1921. Mr. Churchill is reluctant to believe that your Delegation, or the people whom they represent, can entertain any objection in principle to the policy as thus interpreted.
