Wow, this is propaganda that would make Goebbels blanch. To help bring your viewers back to the fact-based world:
1) Jews, not "Palestinians," are the indigenous people of Israel, with records of Jewish presence in the land going back as far as 1208 BCE. "Palestinians" are a fake nationality concocted by Yasser Arafat and the KGB in the 1960s in a cynical ploy to rebrand Arab terrorism against Jews living in their 3600-year homeland as "Palestinian liberation." Prior to 1964, these people called themselves "Arabs" and largely rejected the idea that they were a distinct nationality. It is inaccurate and racist to claim that Zionism is just an "excavated ideological story" and that Israel Jews have "no roots to keep them settled" in their homeland of 3600 years.
2) As the indigenous people of Israel, who have maintained a presence in the land for 3600 years despite not always having sovereignty or being the majority of the population, Israeli Jews have deep ties to the land, including festivals built around the agricultural cycle in the land and commandments that can literally only be fulfilled in the land.
3) The term "Nakba" does not refer to the displacement of Arabs during Israel's 1948-1949 war but rather was a term invented by an Egyptian academic to refer to the "catastrophe" of the Arab armies' failing to defeat Israel and throw her Jewish population into the sea. In other words, when "Palestinians" commemorate the Nakba, they are commemorating their failure to commit a genocide of Israeli Jews.
4) Zionists in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries were not "colonial settlers" but people fleeing persecution in other countries who returned to Israel in hopes of reconstituting their ancestral homeland, ending the Jewish diaspora, and ensuring that such horrors would never befall them.
5) Contrary to the fantasies of pro-"Palestinian" apologists, Israeli Jews (the people you mischaracterize as "settlers") have not been leaving Israel in large numbers since October 2023 and in fact many Israelis living abroad have come back to defend their homeland. The Jewish people is more united against the "Palestinians" than it has been in decades.
6) Israel's war against Gaza that began in 2023 was a response to the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust and cannot be called a genocide by any reasonable standard. Israel fought a justified war of defense against a genocidal terrorist organization that embedded itself in the civilian population and engaged in war crimes by hiding soldiers and weapons in schools, hospitals, and mosques, making them legitimate targets under international law. In the midst of this so-called "genocide," Israel facilitated the vaccination of "Palestinian" children against polio and repeatedly warned civilians to get out of harm's way by sending text messages and dropping leaflets--something no other army in history has done.
7) Polling showed that roughly forty percent of "Palestinians" in Gaza wanted to relocate outside of Gaza BEFORE October 7th, a number that has surely only grown in the course of this war.
8) It's amusing how you constantly reference Native American forms of spirituality that have no connection to the "Palestinians" whatsoever but don't discuss the actual fundamentalist, jihadist religion that "Palestinians" themselves embrace and regularly propagate through their own media, a religion obsessed with the idea of exterminating Jews.

@PizzaMargarita144 Here in the reality-based community, we have a thing called common decency.
Here in the reality-based community, we understand that part of common decency is using for people the names they choose to use for themselves.
Here in the reality-based community, we understand that, upon moving to Israel, many Jewish families chose to adopt Hebrew surnames as a symbol of their connection to the land of Israel, casting off surnames that had usually been imposed on Jews by Gentile governments.
Here in the reality-based community, we understand that it is not for non-Jews to decide what is and isn't a Jew's "real name."
Here in the reality-based community, we understand that if the Mileikowski family chose to adopt the name Netanyahu upon arriving in Israel, that is their real family name.
Here in the reality-based community, we understand that Israel is the eternal homeland of the Jewish people, and that all Jews are entitled to consider it so, even if some of their ancestors lived in Persia, Paris, or even "freakin' Poland."
Here in the reality-based community, referring to the prime minister of Israel as being "from freakin' Poland" is not only inaccurate as he never lived in Poland but offensive as it suggests Jews ought to return to a place where they were systematically slaughtered.
Here in the reality-based community, we understand that Jews have more right to their homeland than genocidal terrorists like Yasser Arafat and Mahmoud Abbas.
Glad I could clear that up for you.
