Not really,
it's more like the Scots claiming Scotland.

I have a friend
who can enumerate and explain the evidence proving the Welsh are the lost tribe of Israel. It's almost touching.

There's a charming Irish folk story
about how the Irish language is an attempted reconstruction of Humanity's original language from before the Tower of Babel incident, by an Irish builder who had worked on the project.

Nobody lived in scotland before the Scots
Israel was populated by non-jews before the first israeli tribes conquered it

Picts and Britons lived there before the Scots.
Canaanites lived in Israel before the Israelites, fair enough, but just like Picts, they no longer exist as a people, so we can hardly put them back. The Arabs, on the other hand, only have a claim on the region after invading it in the 7th century.

One of the problems of history is defining a people by the name of it's rulers
A group of people and their descendants are known by different names throughout history according to the name of their rulers of the time
also many different peoples transform into new peoples through migration, invasion, and inter-marriage

What the fuck has that got to do with it?
You're just trying to obfuscate the issue now in a vain attempt to not look stupid.

Yes they did
the Scots came over from Ireland. Places like Skara Brae are pre-Celtic.
And the Arabs were fairly late on the scene in Israel.
