This is full of dishonest talking points so I will only address some of them to show others just how dishonest they are. Saying Palestinians aren't part of a nation is some racist bullshit.
You're denying Palestinians their nationhood even though Palestinians have had a national identity for longer than Israel has existed. Just to humour you, Palestine has multiple world famous national symbols, like the Jaffa orange, the keffiyeh, and the Dabke. All older than Zionist plans to take over the region.
The Palestinians haven't moved to Palestine recently, they've mostly been moved _out_ of Palestine, or moved into Gaza by Israel from elsewhere in their homeland. People whose families have lived in Palestine for generations are denied their right of return by Israel, even though this was rules a condition in UN resolution 194. Why would we even be talking about a right to return if Palestine isn't their homeland? The people whose homelands are elsewhere are the Israeli settlers.
I will agree that the region was jewish thousands of years ago. Nobody alive today is reaponsible for that, and the Palestinians are also descendants of the jewish people who lives there at the time. The Nakba happened in 1948, and the state of Israel that was founded on the back of those crimes still exists and is still responsible. Just as an example, Tel Aviv university is built on the rujns of the village of Sheikh Munis, and some of its dorms are built on the village's graveyard (source: https://www.timesofisrael.com/high-court-tau-can-build-dorms-despite-muslim-objections-over-graves/ https://www.timesofisrael.com/high-court-tau-can-build-dorms...). This is acceptable to Israeli society because they view Palestinians as subhumans.
What is happening is so incredibly obvious to anyone with a brain who has at least a speck of humanity in them. Which is why it is so devastatingly horrifying that some people are cheering Israel on as it wipes out an indigenous population, and when our political system is doing absolutely nothing to stop them.
