krellor,

The Jewish peoples, some who could trace their ancestry in the area to biblical times, and others who settled the area as either a Zionist effort or fleeing the Holocaust,

I used the term peoples, not person, denoting ethnic Jewish populations. Certain populations have long running histories in the region. I never claimed there existed some individuals person with a complete family record back to the iron age. I feel I used language very consistent with contemporary anthropology. Maybe this is a translation issue?

With respect to Palestinians; I used the term in the context of displaced peoples from the wars of 1948 and 1967. I think context makes plain my intent.

Regardless, I've spent enough time in this corner of the fediverse. I feel my statements speak for themselves for those who are not reading into them their own assumptions and biases.

Have a great day!
