So if arab muslims move a valley or two over, they lose the right to live in the entire area?

If a man moves from Syria to Palestine, he is not indigenous to Palestine. I should have thought that much would be obvious even to you. And if it was really all one country, which it was more or less, sparsely populated as it was, then you have been unwittingly pulling the rug from under the Palestinians' current great argument, that "Palestine" is their "Great Historical Homeland" since "Time Immemorial". An Arab country of Syria existed, but never Palestine.

But who needs consistency when you can just blame everything on the Jews?

few problems you'll have with that, one is the fact that there was continuous arab muslim presence in the area .

True. Since the 7th cen. There was also continuous Jewish presence in the area since well before that, which you ignore. Did you know that Jerusalem has had a Jewish plurality or majority since the 18th century? Doesn't that entitle the Jews to be indigenous too?
