2000 years!

They hadn't ever been in Israel, they were born and raised in Europe by parents that were born and raised in Europe by grandparents that were born and raise in Europe etc. etc. They were Europeans, complete with white skin and European culture and European language.

This wasn't refugees returning to their home. It was settlers invading nonwhite people's land and stealing it for themselves.

Yeah, if we stretch this logic even further down, we all get to claim our ancestral land in Africa from 200 millennia ago.

The Netherlands had better watch out... my ancestors came from there about 300 years ago, and that automatically gives me the right to rape, torture and murder my way through Antwerp!

They speak more elegant... or French

After I pull an Israel on them, it won't matter... they won't be allowed to speak either French or Dutch in the small ghetto I'll be forcing them into.
