No independent Arab or Palestinian state ever existed in Palestine. It was never a real Arab country. So just because the Arabs/Palestinians were there doesn't mean it is always their land. The Jewish people settled and developed the land.

This is not a valid statement, it is an opinion. And certainly not a debate. and here is evidence that the Jews had the land first. The territory was captured in defensive wars. Even after the land was given to them, they successfully defended the land by winning several wars. So there for we had the land first. & the land is rightfully ours

The international community granted the Jewish people the land in 1948. United Nations including the U.S. gave land in Palestine to Israel. The territory was captured in defensive wars. Even after the land was given to them, they successfully defended the land by winning several wars. So there for we won the land and we were also given the land by the U.N.
