Jews lived in Palestine but never had a state, realm. Armenians live in Jerusalem too, have its quarter in Jerusalem. Does it mean for instance they have a right of state of their own in Palestine? Of course not!
There was a Moroccan quarter too before Israel demolished it in 1967.
Ashkenazi Jews are not indigenous to the region of Middle East. Period. They never lived there prior to colonization that started by end of 19th century.
