"Can you criticise Israel's policy towards the Palestinians without being accused of antisemitism?"

Native Americans never had proper deeds, nor did any of the native tribes in Africa. That doesn't mean that aboriginal people didn't live in those places, and while you are correct about the distant past, any native American currently within US borders is a citizen of the United States, with the same rights as I have. If a Native Americans (and I find they actually refer to themselves as Indians) wants to buy the house next door to mine, he can. He can vote in the local election, and enjoy the rights of citizenship. At this point, it's the best I can do. The idea that American Indians are poorly treated in Mexico and the northern triangle countries, doesn't alter how I feel they should be treated under our law.
The Palestinian population on land Israel claims dominion over, are deserving of actual human rights. And they currently live as prisoners in their own lands. The destruction of centuries-old olive groves, the razing of houses and whole villages, pushing families out of Jerusalem, as if only Jews are currently allowed to live and prosper, despite the fact that both peoples lived there for centuries in relative peace... is frankly abhorrent and intolerable.
Rashida Tlaib's grandmother didn't move to the occupied territories. She has always lived on that ground , and she's as deserving of drawing water and life from that ground as anyone else, if not more so.
Israel is a progressive democracy only if you deny the basic humanity of fully half the people within the land it claims, and treating people as less than human is not consistent with progressive democracy. You can read this in the Israeli press (although it's pretty clear the Kahanists and fascists currently have the upper hand), but you aren't going to get it from Murdoch or Greenblatt.

The Palestinians chafed under Turkish rule, and Hashemite rule, and British rule... but with the advent of Israel it got worse, Israel simply pushed them out into the deserts, and then commenced to colonize the deserts as well... and that's what the "deceiving" map shows. It's objectively true. It happened and it continues to happen.
