Jews are indigenous to the region. Your attempt to cast them as rootless interlopers is based in a trope with a lot of pretty ugly history around it.

Culturally all Jews have a connection to Israel, but only some would be called indigenous. I don’t know why pro Israel folks can’t accept that European Jewish settlers have behaved the way other settlers have. The behaviors have to be unlearned and calling that critique antisemitism doesn’t help.

There's no such thing as a "European Jew". Ethnically reassigning Jews to cast them as alien to their surroundings is rooted in centuries-old racist tropes.

Ok if you mean how Jews were treated in Europe, yes I agree. Those people were completely rooted in their communities. But when some Israeli Jews share land or power with Arabs/Armenians, they get a lot of pushback from their own leaders because they have a settler agenda. Just a fact.

Not just in Europe. In Europe, ethnosupremacists assign Jews middle eastern ethnicity to cast them as alien; in the middle east, ethnosupremacists call them "European" for the same reasons. You even use language of non-indigeneity to refer to them. That's problematic for a number of reasons.
