I will quote the relevant part again:

"Another point is that the Palestinians don't need to prove that they are the genetic descendants of the Canaanites to establish that they have a right to a state in some part of the Holy Land. They have that right by virtue of being a separate people (even if they are closely related to other Arabs)."

It is a mystery to me how you can ask if I am, "suggesting that Palestinians don't have a right to live in their ancestral homeland?" I very plainly said the opposite. What seems to be clear from your posts is that you don't believe that the Jews should be allowed to have a separate national identity (that means a Jewish state) in some part of their homeland, all so that the Arabs can have it all.
