The above is Blut und Boden ideology.

Everybody on the planet should be able to live wherever the fuck they want. The problem is not some alleged external "occupation" of Palestine by Jews of land to which Palestinian Arabs are presumed to have some organic, eternal claim.

The problem is that the state of Israel denies Palestinian Arabs the ability to live where they want, without having to deal with murder by soliders or checkpoint harassment.
