Although the Arabs lived there, the land was never really theres, and they couldn't even make it into a realy country!

Jewish kingdoms had ruled "Palestine" for over a thousand years and the land, especially Jerusalem, were central or important to the Jewish religion.

The United Nations ruled that Great Britain should be the Mandatory government of the country which would provide the Jewish people their homeland. If the Jewish people were not provided this homeland they could have been easily persecuted since it was around World War 2, and during that time Jews were getting killed. When the Jews came to back to the land, they didn't want to take it from the Arabs, but instead they were given it from the United Nations. The Arabs can't deny the United Nations decision so they have to let the Israelis live their. The Jews also didn't want to cause conflict between the two, but the Arabs did because now the two are at war.

Jewish people take the land so serious to them that they had been praying for nearly 2,000 years wanting to come back. To the Arabs living in this area, it is just some place for them and it never even became a real Arab country.

Due to the Palestine's small population (almost all are Arabs), Arabs living in Palestine should become part of a different Arab country, like Syria. The Arabs also have numbers of countries to live in, with millions of miles, where the Israelis have no homeland to live on. The Arab people in Palestine could easily move to a different Arab country, so that the Jewish people can live where they once did for so long and the place they loved.

In 165 BCE, the Jewish Hasmonean Kingdom lasted 99 years but was destroyed after Romans captured Jerusalem. During this time, the Israelis people developed the land and were willing to fight for it.

"Land of Israel" is found in the Hebrew Bible, that is the bible the Israelis follow and its not called the "Land of Palestine". This means this isn't the Arabs land.
