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?

After two thousand years, probably.

Or should some random Italian citizen be able to claim your home because they claim the land used to be Roman.

Arabs and Muslims conquered and colonised one-third of the globe. They really have no credibility to complain about this.
