  1. I support #indigenous rights. Israel is an indigenous rights success story. The indigenous Jews share Israel with one-fifth Arab citizens who have equal rights under the law with the Jewish people and other minorities, and they all have freedom of religion. In 1948 the Palestinian Arabs did NOT accept the state of Israel. So what do these Palestinian Arabs base their claim to the land on? Why do they get such special treatment 75 years later? Up to 18 million South Asians had their lives upturned, but they didn't resist and they just on with things in their new homeland.

  2.  @lovescarguitar : The Jewish people were acknowledged as the #indigenous people by a League of Nation unanimous vote in San Remo in 1920, and ratified by the Mandate for Palestine document of 1922. The Jewish people were granted the right to reconstitute their ancestral home so long as they gave equal civil rights and freedom of religion to the existing non-Jewish community.

  3. The Arabs of Palestine refused to live alongside Jews so they should have moved to Jordan in 1948. Now even Jordan and Egypt and pretty much all of the Arab nations don't want them.
