She's right. Once the Arabs recognize that the Jews are indigenous then there will be peace.

[@Nick-io9uk]

In the same way Elizabeth Warren is 'indigenous'
Maybe (and I do mean maybe in the loosest sense of the word) they have a sliver of Semitic DNA from way back when. But clearly, Ashkenazim are mostly of Eastern European stock. Unless you really look at someone like Rachel Riley and say yup, middle easterner there.
(in which case you most likely need glasses)

They're not dummy look at the figures

​@@Nick-io9ukYou do realize, DNA or no DNA- I can choose to change religion tomorrow if I like? Anyway, even if it's just a sliver- intermarriage and conversion was forced upon them sometimes under penalty of death so...🤷
*It's what's in your heart.

The indigenous Jewish population converted to Christianity around 1900 years ago, and then to Islam around 1300 years ago. They never left.
Once the world recognizes that a European colonial power is genociding an indigenous population in the cradle of civilization, and quits arming it, then there will be peace.

Once Israel accepts the Palestinian as the indigenous population of the land, then there can be peace.
