The speaker posits that Palestinians are the descendants of the ancient Hebrews and, consequently, have a right to the land. They argue that when Muslims took control of the land, they allowed the local inhabitants to remain, converting to Islam or paying fewer taxes if they chose to do so.
The speaker cites David Ben Gurion as evidence that the ancient Hebrews never truly left and continued to inhabit the land continuously. However, the speaker introduces a complex element, stating that the descendants of the ancient Hebrews who had emigrated to Europe eventually returned and claim the land as their own thousands of years later.
