There is literally nothing analogous about Israel and the colonization of the Americas, but for the sake of argument let me ask you this:

Do you think First Nations people (as we call them in Canada) would be justified in carrying out an endless campaign of terrorist violence against Canadian and American citizens in the futile hope that we would all decide to pack up and leave? If several hundred of them decided to maraud through towns in rural US or Canada, butchering entire families, burning people alive, sexually violating women, and then took a couple hundred people hostage, would your attitude be, "Meh, we did take their land."

The single fact that you were able to use it as an example means the 2 situations are analogous. Read some of the links I sent you in the other thread. You're sidestepping and dismissal of what's happening right in front of your eyes is getting pathetic.
