Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu asserted that Israelis are the indigenous people of the land and not colonialists, in an interview with American journalist Mark Levin. Netanyahu stated, "We are not sitting on land that we stole. This is our historical homeland. We are the indigenous people here. We are not the Dutch in Indonesia. We are Jews whose origin is from Judea. We are not a colonialist enterprise. We are the original owners of our land. This is our country."
He emphasized that Israelis are the original owners of the land and that their connection is historical and indigenous, drawing a distinction between Israelis and the Dutch colonial presence in Indonesia. Netanyahu's remarks frame the Israeli presence in the land as a return to an ancestral homeland rather than an act of conquest or colonization.
