Oh Wise One--- "you" don't speak for everyone.
Having said that I can see that you need that security blanket to keep you feeling/being a part of something even though you have never visited "Israel" and have no intention too.
Now I relent, retreat and correct my previous statements. The Jews of Israel are "indigenous" to the region; they have a right to be there and I wish/pray that they remain for all time to come.
p.s. you may quote my post should you desire too.

While people's attraction to conspiracy theories might seem illogical, it stems from a very logical desire to make sense of the world.
For some believers, the sense of comfort and clarity such stories bring can override the question of their truth value.
Conspiracy theorists often have a high degree of tolerance for contradiction that allows them to ignore evidence against their theories.
Conspiracy theories also supply a seductive ego boost. Believers often consider themselves part of a select in-group that — unlike the deluded masses — has figured out what's really going on.
While conspiracy theories have been around for millennia, they are thriving in a political moment that rewards those who reject established knowledge. “Conspiracy theories are becoming part of our national dialogue,” said University of Miami political scientist and conspiracy theory researcher Joseph Uscinski.
Showing concern for a conspiracy theory's victims, the study suggests, isn't a good debunking strategy — especially when the theory is racist, discriminatory or otherwise harmful.
Finally, my own assessment of the "origins" game.
You said,
The Jews of Israel are "indigenous" to the region; they have a right to be there
At the current time, justification due to origins is a waste of time. Look at human history. For over 6000 years people have been saying, Hey, I like your land. I like it so much that I am going to take it away from you. This is the case of the Americas. We have steel, you don't. We have horses, chariots, guns. You don't. Etc etc
It's not about Jews being there first which gives "rights". White men had the right to take this land away from Indians because THEY COULD.
I don't believe in origins because I have no proof that Jews were in Israel or that Palestinians were in Canaan. I know one thng that gives Jews the right to have Israel and run it the way they want. BECAUSE THEY COULD. Because they came there and established an enclave in the 19the century, because they developed a state, because they developed a military and a technology and scine that allowed them to beat up all the neighboring armies and countires and take the land away from whomever was currently there. Good for them. I leave origin theories for others. As far as I can see with Israel, America, Australia, MIGHT MAKES RIGHT
I say to the people who ***** and moan about Israel's occupation and behavior. DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT OR SHUT UP.
AND ALSO, GIVE UP THE CHIPS THAT RUN YOUR COMUTERS AND CELL PHONES BECAUSE THEY WERE DEVELOPED BY ISRAEL WHO SOON WILL CURE CANCER. AND WORLD HUNGER - because of their highly developed Jew brains.
Got it? Sure you do.
Those who can't do, ***** and moan.
