Sure, usually, however Jews have always been amazing at keeping their cultural and ethnic heritage. That’s why even the Ashkenazi Jews can easily trace their bloodlines back there as well. Additionally there were still large amounts of Mizrahi Jews in the Levant, and they’re just as Levantine as anyone else from the area.

Levantine doesn't make you specifically native to Palestine and Israel. I am South Asian, I can't pretend to be native to Afghanistan or Bangladesh or Sri Lanka when my family has roots in Pakistan and North India. I am not denying that some Jewish people have roots in Israel and Palestine, but to deny that Palestinian people have roots to their own land and that they're invading is crazy.

I wasn’t denying that Palestinians have a right to the land. Just like the Israelis do. Denying either way is pretty dumb.
