also indigeneity only matters insofar as it exists as a colonial relationship. even if 'Jews' (all? a majority of them? a plurality of them?) descend from ancient Levantines, the reality is that of you settling a place that is/was actively lived in by another people, forcing them out of that land and subjugating them.
It's like the "reverse racism" argument. It simply does not matter or harm beyond the level of individual prejudice. The primary harm of racism comes from the fact that it exists as a social structure that is propagated to systematically reinforce socioeconomic hierarchy and create 'internal enemies' for the insecure and/or downwardly-mobile whites to blame instead of the bourgeoisie. Similarly, colonizer's 'indigeneity' does not fundamentally matter because it does not make them colonized.
furthermore, Zionism, in essence, is undeniably the suffering of the Palestinian people! Zionism as a basic idea is the colonization of the place where Palestinians are living. How do you create a Jewish state in a land populated primarily by Muslims? What is this 'Zionism' you have created in your mind?
