    I mean it’s the fertile crescent. It’s been likely that it’s been being recolonized for hundreds of thousands of years. Not really any other landroutes out of Africa.

      Which means that nobody there is indigenous. The actual indigenous peoples have been genocided over millennia.

        Or that many groups have indigenous claims to the area.

        For example, pacific islanders didnt’ get to many islands till the 900-1100 time period. We’d still call them indigenous peoples of those places.

        More than one thing can be true at the same time.

          We call them indigenous because they were the first ones there…

          Palestinians were not. They killed the people who were there and took it.

        Indigenous people having rights is a rather modern concept in terms of human history.
