I don't take accusations of antisemitism seriously from ppl who clearly never properly read what I have to say.
I didnt argue. I explained my opinion, tried to be as respectful as possible and we even came to an agreement.

All of those children would be alive and happy had hamas not attacked Israel. That's who you should blame.
Alive and happy? But for how long? 
Will they be alive and happy just to endure the next Israeli aggression on Gaza, projected to happen just within a year, the 5th or 6th one they have endured in their lifetime, which they have spent the entirety of living under Israeli siege in an open air prison?
Israel kills children without provocation. We are able to see it because we understand Israel to be a settler colonial state that adopts a settler colonial mindset. This genocidal mindset is embodied by the infamous colonel Chivington quote "kill them all, big and small, nits make lice!"
As a settler colony, it is a moral imperative - a duty - for Israel to kill off the native population. There's a reason why maternity wards in Gaza’s hospitals were destroyed and infants in incubators have been left to rot and decay. The same reason why Israel had killed over 230 children in the West Bank since 2023 alone.
What I believe you really want to say is: these children would have been alive until Israel decides to kill them.

In my view, Palestinians are indigenous to the region which is now Israel/Palestine. I dont expect my view to be changed, but for anyone who claims otherwise I dare you to give a definition of being indigenous with an explanation for why it doesn't apply to Palestinians.

I see where you are coming from, but I want to ask whats your stance on Palestinian claims to indigeneity? It is often denied on the basis of being supposedly descended from Arab conquerors, when in fact most of their ancestry comes from the indigenous population who converted. Palestinian farmers and bedouins have their indigeneity revoked on the basis of ancestry despite their traditions and culture being just as continuous to the ancient population as the jewish diaspora, if not more so in some cases.
I will admit that some parts of my post could come across as ignorant-cultures do change and I never tried to imply otherwise.
I'm not jewish, but I've been thinking about the claim that all jewish people can claim indigeneity to Israel/the levant because judaism originated from the area and traditional jewish prayers are directed towards Israel etc.
But this view of indigeneity feels a bit reductive to me. There's more to a culture than language and religion, and the two doesn't compare to actual material culture or relationship to land. In my mind, I ask myself how westernized jewish ppl from Europe and North America can claim to be indigenous to a place they and their close ancestors haven't stepped foot in for generations.
The population that lived in the region for centuries and farmed the land should be considered indigenous but I doubt the same can be said for the entire jewish diaspora who've developed very different material cultures due to where they live.
I've seen the statement by a zionist on tumblr that among other things such as holidays, prayers and language*, "the clothes we wear and the food we eat are all inherently tied to the land"*.
I doubt those last parts, because theres no way that fur-hats/shtreimels which are worn by orthodox jewish men couldve been developed in the levant. The Palestinian thawb and kuffiye are examples of traditional clothing worn by the native people and actually adapted to the climate of the region and carry with them symbols of cultural significance.
I felt nervous writing this, as I know its a controversial position to hold. Im not saying that no jewish person is native to the Levant, just that I doubt that religion and language alone makes someone "indigenous".

Thanks for being understanding. I never meant that no jewish ppl are indigenous, but I question the idea that all jewish people can claim indigeneity to the land of Palestine.
My opinion on the subject has been informed by Palestinians who speak about their experiences and identity, history and various other sources. "Is a native person less indigenous because he doesnt wear the clothing of his ancestors" is a reductive take on what I said, honestly, but I will explain my views in detail:
Many early zionists did view themselves as settlers and the Palestinians as natives: Ze'ev Jabotins made this comparison: https://www.marxists.org/history/etol/document/mideast/ironwall/ironwall.htm
saying "The inhabitants (no matter whether they are civilized or savages) have always put up a stubborn fight." in reference to the Palestinian opposition to Zionism.
Zionist leader Menachem Ushishkin stated that: "We must continually raise the demand that our land be returned to our possession .... If there are other inhabitants there, they must be transferred to some other place. We must take over the land. We have a great and NOBLER ideal than preserving several hundred thousands of [Palestinian] Arabs fellahin [peasants]." (Righteous Victims, p. 141).
Its clear that a lot of zionist leaders viewed zionism as colonization and the Palestinians as inferior natives who should be displaced to make way for a majority jewish nation.
Watching the interview of the far-right zionist movement extremist Danielle Weiss was very enlightening: https://abc17news.com/news/national-world/cnn-world/2024/03/20/the-grandmother-who-wants-to-lead-israelis-back-to-a-gaza-without-palestinians/
She describes a dream for settlers to have beach-front properties in Gaza "without arabs".
I can't watch the interview and have the heart to say that just by being jewish makes settlers like her indigenous. They've adopted pretty much the identical position as any colonizer who seeks to conquer land and deny the humanity of the indigenous population.
One concept I've learnt which I think makes a lot of sense is that indigeneity does not need to mean originating from a place, for example African Americans can be considered indigenous to America because the trans-atlantic slave trade severed their connections to the African cultures they descend from and the African American culture originated in America, and so does their non-exploitative relationship to the land.
These are among the reasons for why I hold my opinion.
I am open to criticism and responses that are in good faith.
