All of us came from Judea Samaria but were spread over the world when we were expelled twice. The Arabs are only indigenous to Saudi Arabia. They are colonizers elsewhere whereas the Jews are indigenous to what is now Israel as well as parts of Lebanon and Jordan (new states created by Europeans who wanted the oil).

I'm trying to understand the history being discussed: '[Arabs] are colonizers' might suggest that they tried to take over your land - when was that? And since what time are jews indigenous to Palestine?
тАЬPalestineтАЭ was the name given to the land of Judea by the conquering Romans. They intended it as an insult. It has nothing to do with the Arabs calling themselves Palestinian today. It later became the name of the British controlled territory, mostly comprising Jordan, after the Ottoman invaders were defeated.
Greeks, actually. The people who Jews called Gentiles were often Hellenic and were hated by the Jews. In the modern age, it was the West that gave us the name Palestine to describe the area of conflict today.
The Greeks were first to refer to area as Palestinia (╬ж╬╣╬╗╬╣╧Г╧Д╬▒╬п╬┐╬╣) much earlier and it translate to Philistine. Rome used that term as a means of ridicule calling Jews Philistines.

It was the Romans in 135 C.E. who named Judea Syria Palestina.
