    Why is it illegal? Because it the massive migration to Israel clashing with their foundational myth of returning to the region?

    Nevermind, saw the linked resources.

      Without looking at the sources, I’m going to assume it’s because, genetically speaking, Palestinians and Israelis are almost identical.

      Edit - yep… That’s the kicker.

        One is that Palestinians are a semitic peoples, while the settlers are nearly all euro-amerikkkan origin. So even by Israel’s old testament blood quantum calculus, they have much less claim to the land than the indigenous peoples do.
