I agree about the narratives. That being said, the recent events — those in the historical record of these lands — should not be dismissed simply because “everyone lives on land taken by someone”. I mean, are you proposing to ignore the nakba?
In my opinion, it is one thing to say we that should move on from what happened centuries ago to indigenous populations in the Americas and another thing entirely to say let’s ignore a settler colonial movement which operates in the modern era.
Regarding what you mentioned on the anti-semitism of criticizing Jewish people: what should the approach be for good-faith critics? Say I want to criticize the modern day policies of the Israeli military/government which create a reality of Jewish supremacy in the occupied territories, how do I do it? This is the unfortunate reality of today and we should be able to speak out against it without being labeled as anti-semites.
I don't think there's a problem with you being critical of any specific action without being labelled an anti-semite. Some things are just plain wrong. Some things are more nuanced so it's nice to acknowledge this nuance, e.g. "I disagree that X is a good reason for Y" rather than saying "I condemn Y". Sweeping generalizations are probably less useful.
That said, if one's focus is 100% on "things that Jews do wrong" .. maybe that's something else.
Also indigenous populations in the Americas are still being wronged today!
