Reply To: Who as here [Israel] first Jews or the Palestinians?

agutyar, A Gut Yahr! (love the name:))
Don’t miss the point. No one says there were Palestinian. Before 1948, Jews in Eretz Yisrael were known as Palestinian. Arabs were South Syrians, or TransJordanian. Nevertheless, they were living there before the Old Yishuv arrived back from Europe.
No one here is arguing these points. We all agree. What we need to remember is where our right to live in Eretz Yisrael stems from. And that is our loyalty to the Torah.
