    I’m possibly 0.0025% Mongolian, who knows. That gives me the right to steal their land, right?

      Are you part of a continuous culture who has a direct claim to the land or are you using genetics as a flimsy excuse to argue against giving land back to the living peoples who’s land was stolen?

        Would this mean that Jews in pre-British Mandate Palestine had a moral right to the land which their Arab neighbors lacked?

        Genuine question, since obviously the current situation is predicated on a much broader migration of members of the ethnoreligion.
