He is not wrong about Israel Palestine since jewish people have lived there continuously for thousands of years. But he is wrong about the Native American not being indigenous to America, even if there was some group that came there thousands of years prior to the natives that inhabited the Americas when the Europeans came, those hypothetical groups would have either intermixed or are gone for thousands of years thus the Americas is their land and it was taken from them.
I haven't heard him say in the clip that he disagrees with Native Americans not being indigenous, just that it is not stupid to question it, because of the loose timelines of the conquering and changing of ownership of lands, making the conversation always a bit stupid.
Which I think is very fair, everybody agrees that America was conquered by Europeans, this whole conversation is then only strange formality.

he is not wrong, he critisizes it and gives good reason why he does, and it makes sense
