The Jewish people have Judah heritage (“Jew”=citizen of “Judah” - Judaism is both an ethnicity as well as a religion).
The Jewish people are native to their ancestral-homeland of Israel, with unbroken presence there from Biblical times:

By comparison, most of the “Palestinian” Arabs originate from those who arrived in the land of Israel in recent times. The “Palestinian Arabs” dropped the name “Arab” because they do not want people to understand they mostly originate from Foreign-Arab-Migrant-Workers who came to the land of Israel just prior to, and during the British Mandate (1922 to 1949), to take advantage of higher wages through Jewish returnee-exiles.
I have discussed this in more detail, with supporting sources, here:
"Are the Palestinian Arabs really as they claim, native (aka indigenous), to Israel?":

In regard specifically to contributor "COmentator's" discussion title:
There is in my personal opinion, an insufficient attitude by many of those defending Israel when they are interviewed by the Media:
The following is what I consider lame and ineffectual, when addressing those who do not understand the Jewish connection to the land of Israel:
"We've no where else to go!"
"Its our ' homeland' ' " (See further below.)
"Israel was ' created ' in 1948." (See further below.)
"Israel has many times tried to make peace." - All this one does is convince those interviewers (who have come to believe the "Palestinian" Arab falsehood-propaganda that Israel/the Jewish people stole their own ancestral-homeland) that Israel seeks to: "keep their ill-gotten gains".
It is time therefore for those defending Israel when interviewed by the Media, to point out on every possible occasion, that Israel is the ancestral-homeland of the Jewish people, who have had previous sovereign states in the land, including the post-Biblical Hasmonean Kingdom.
That therefore Israel was Re-established in 1948.
The word "re-established" helps make the mental-connection with those prior Jewish sovereign states in the land; the word "created" fails to make any such connection.
Israel and Israeli media should:
Cease calling Jewish villagers in Judah and Samaria ("West Bank") "settlers"; they are "villagers" !
Cease calling Jewish villages in Judah and Samaria ("West Bank") "settlements"; they are "villages" !
It is the Arabs who arrived in the land well after the Jews; so it is the Arabs who are the alleged "settler/colonists"; not the indigenous Jews.
How did the “Palestinian” Arabs manage to lay their hands on 40% of the "West Bank" (Judah and Samaria) and the whole of Gaza? - It was under the Oslo Accords - See the “Oslo II Agreement” link, at:
http://www.acpr.org.il/English/documents-e.htm
Once the “Palestinian” Arabs had tricked Israel into giving them autonomy of part of the “West Bank” and the whole of Gaza under the Oslo Accords, the “Palestinian” Arabs since:
> Do not sincerely negotiate any peace treaty.
> Make an unverifiable false-claim to ALL the land of Israel.
> Want to expel the Jews from the Jews ancestral-homeland of Israel.
> Have expelled any Jewish population from all areas under Palestinian control and then falsely-claimed “Apartheid” against Israel !
> Consider themselves at war with Israel.
> Attack Israeli Jewish civilians as policy including children.
> Fire rockets at Israeli cities whenever the fancy takes them.
> Committed the October 7th, 2023 massacre of Israelis.
By the way, no wonder then, that anti-Semites display such emotional-support for the “Palestinian” Arabs !
The "Palestinian" Arabs being in blatant and indeed cynical, breach of the Oslo Accords, and devoid of any verifiable claims on any part of the land of Israel (which for propaganda purposes they call "Palestine"), are therefore squatters.
"Palestinian" Arab propaganda has sought to convince people with the falsehood that the Jews/Israel have expelled/are expelling them. It may be that the time has now come to cause those (that is those who are neither citizens of Israel nor have "resident" status) to be caused at last, to be truthful on this matter.
