Well, there are Jews, and then, there are Jews. Sephardic Jews are certainly genetically linked to the Mideast, as are the Berber, Adeni, Baghdadi, Persian, Karaites, and Ethiopian Jews. Ashkenazy Jews are genetically Eastern European. It is telling that the former above groups are generally not invited to immigrate to the Jewish state.

Palestinians are unequivocally native to the area. Problems did not start between Palestinians and Jews until proto-Israeli Zionists started showing up there in the late 1800's.
