That makes it difficult, then, to compare notions of Native American "sovereignty" regarding property, to land disputes between Israelis and "Palestinians."

Didn't work out well for them, did it?

Perhaps, there is a lesson for us there regarding borders and immigration.

There is no more an ethnicity of Palestinians than there is of residents of the United States, Americans.

Agreed. Israel seems to be far closer to the identity mix that comprises the U.S. Not so much similarity of identity mix in the Palestinian territories.

That link is very much to a current Jewish perspective IMHO.

I agree with that. But is it incorrect?

But what I said was Palestine was "were the residents of Palestine and comprised a number of tribes, one of which became known as the Jews"

In that case, then the Jews there are also Palestinian. And so would be the Christians. Sounds like civil war among Palestinians.

Look at it from a much longer period of history like this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestine
for Palestine
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerusalem
And this for Jerusalem

That history decided sovereignties by war. Maybe that's what going on there now.
