I picked this up from Mikael Valtersson:
Here’s Valtersson’s tweet:

Who has the historical right to Israel/Palestine for dummies.
My wife said, can't you write a short and not so detailed tweet about my former 4000 character tweet on the historical right to Israel/Palestine, so here are a Saturday evening tweet in that manner.
To claim the Jews have the historical right to the land of Israel/Palestine because you're the indigenous population of that land, and nobody else, are like me claiming the historical right to the ancestral farm on my paternal side, because my Christian ancestors built it 900 years ago and I'm a descendant to them.
It doesn't matter that my great,great, great, great grandfather Nils moved from the farm around 1800 and his brother stayed there. Even though his brothers descendants still live there I have a greater claim on it, since they no longer are Christian and speak another language......
No court of law would support my claim, that's for sure.
PS My relatives still speak Swedish and are Christian.

It really is that simple.
Palestinian-Israeli conflict reimagined as a house-share. Three brief sketches. (Warning: black humor):

Wow! Let’s hope no Canaanites or Philistines show up in the Levant laying claim to their ancestral homeland, things will get even more complicated.
