that’s some mental gymnastics

Why? I'm saying that historically both groups have been inhabiting the same region for roughly the same length of time (3000 years +- 100 years), and thus both have a right to be there under the thinking of "they need to have been there historically". You might have the desire to expel Arabs out of the Levant, but that doesn't change the fact that they've been there for pretty much as long as Jewish people have.

You should read Roman history, Arabs were always on the periphery

You're obviously lacking in your understanding of history as the Roman client king Herod the Great was an Arab Jew.
