The indigenous spectre is pissing me off. I want some other perspectives.

In a word, there is no inherent value in indigenousness. There is no inherent righteousness in being indigenous. All so-called indigenous peoples were originally settlers, and there is no special snapshot in history where it is 'right' to return to, nor any philosophical fairness in halting or reverting to any point.

That isn't to say we shouldn't oppose the oppression of indigenous populations in colonial settlements, nor oppose these capitalist imperialist projects, nor dismiss the unique connections that indigenous people tend to have with land. But the solution should almost never be RETVRN or reactionary nationalist 'landback' crap.

The Zionist Regime should be destroyed, but not because the Arab Palestinian nationals somehow have a right to the place either. No nationality has a special right to any territory.

>All so-called indigenous peoples were originally settlers
No they weren't.
You're confusing human migration with settlement. "Settling" in this context is a term for colonization, used as a shorthand for "settler-colonist" which is a specific thing. There's no evidence that the American Indians or Australian Aborigines were ever settler-colonists. With regards to the Palestinians, they're descended largely from inhabitants of the Levant who converted to Christianity and Islam, and learned Arabic when the region was under Arab rule.

>and there is no special snapshot in history where it is 'right' to return to

That's not what the right of return means.

>reactionary nationalist 'landback' crap

Yeah, we should give that land to land speculators and oil & gas barons like we've been doing.

>but not because the Arab Palestinian nationals somehow have a right to the place either

They absolutely do. People have a right not to have their homes stolen by Nazi colonial projects. There's nothing ""spooked"" about national autonomy or the rights of people to their own homes, it isn't the problem; colonial genocide and expansion is the problem.

>No nationality has a special right to any territory.

"Not getting their homes stolen" is not a "special right."
