With UAE deal, Israel opens tentative new chapter with Gulf Arabs

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

The earliest residents of Palestine were the Canaanites, the cultural ancestors of the Israelites. 

In other words, the ‘native Palestinian people’ you refer to are Israelites, or (if you prefer) Jews. 

This isn’t to say that modern Palestinians didn’t get horrible treatment and a raw deal - they absolutely did.  It’s a shonda the way they’ve been treated.

I totally believe you..
That's why they were mostly Europeans; brought to Palestine via ships from the sea; wave after wave.

You make total sense.
Left is right.
Right is left.
War is peace.
Peace is war.

It’s not a question of belief, it’s a fact that the Canaanites/Israelites were the earliest known inhabitants of Palestine. They gradually migrated out of the area and returned after WWII as recompense for the Holocaust. This bit isn’t a matter for debate. It’s also drastically over-simplified, but that’s as may be.

What is a matter for debate is whether removing the Palestinians to make room for returning Jews was justified (in my view, it manifestly was not, but there IS a debate about it).
