Yes of course, the jews living in the three or four little enclaves including part of Jerusalem, they were indigenous, having been invited in by a califa not long after the crusaders had been beaten off for the last time, and the reconquista had happened in Iberia, fifteenth or sixteenth century ... can't recall which califa, but there is a story to it, they were sefardis and he was balancing something or other political .... yes certainly they were indigenous, they and their direct descendants ... and there were more than a few, something like five per cent of pre-zionist population, if memory serves ... they were also quite strongly anti-zionist, no rip-off artists these
