These kind of moral statements-in-a-vacuum make me very suspicious when they are bought up in a context. Perhaps you could explain how you intended this to apply to the examples of i.e. Israelis or non-indigenous Americans being discussed here?

I will go ahead and say that as Israel is still in its genocide phase of settler-colonialism, and that the populace broadly and enthusiastically supports this, it would be facetious to ignore an Israeli's nationality when looking at their individual actions and values. Also a quirk there that is not usually present is the many Israelis who immigrate from other countries around the world and proclaim Israel their native land!

For USA, I think that given our history of mixed European immigration and whitewashing of ethnicity it's not unreasonable for a white USAian to consider their ethnicity to be "American". But clearly in the USA context native means descended from indigenous people, American Indians if I may use that term.
