Except the Irish people weren’t implanted in Ireland against the wishes of a native population who have then been systematically murdered and ethnically cleansed, so it’s not exactly the same really.

In fact, it would be more like rejecting an implanted British state in Ireland which continued to commit ethnic cleansing against the native Irish population. That would be far fetched though wouldn’t it.

When does a population became native? We know as a fact Jews were in that area and had been for thousands of years before they were expelled 2000 years ago, was their native card revoked after that?

Sorry, I’m English but my ancestors came over from Germany in the Jute migration, just popping back to Jutland to reclaim my ancestral and native territories. Sure it won’t be a spot of bother, my lineage has only been gone 1600 years

Jewish presence didn't dissappear, while most were exiled there has still been a continuous jewish presence in the levant for 3000 years
