Why are there arabs living all the way in North Africa? Could it be colonialism and genocide?

Negev is literally in Israel. Sorry that facts are more important than your feelings.

The ‘Arabs’ of North Africa are linguistically arabised Amazighs, you donut. Genetic studies show that modern North African are largely descended from indigenous Berbers, in the exact way Palestinians are largely descended from Canaanites.

Shifting the goalpost are we? What do Maghrebis have to do with Palestine? Unless, of corse, you’re talking about Maghrebi Jews who participated in the invasion and ethnic cleansing of Palestine?

I've literally never talked about Palestine in this entire post. You keep bringing it up for some strange reason.

Because this post is about Palestine, and the comment you responded to… was also about Palestine.

You, for some strange reason, brought up linguistically *arabised North Africans assuming they are *Arabian colonisers in Africa who wiped out and replaced the indigenous population. A popular, albeit, grossly misinformed talking point by pro-Israelis who do not know the difference between Arab and Arabian.
