The Palestinians have always lived in Israel. The Israelis came later.

Yes, the Israelis were promised the land. However, it is not well known, but the Palestinians actually were promised too. The land could also be shared because neither was right to do what they actually did. The Israelis destroyed the homes of many Palestinians and forced them to move out. However, Palestine kidnapped Israelis and sent small rockets in places where they lived. It would have been best if a while ago, they had shared the land instead of fight.

I believe that the land belongs to the Palestinians because when the decision was made, the Palestinians did not get a fair share of land. The Israelis got way more land than the Palestinians did. The Israelis also destroyed the homes of many people so it would make them leave. No one should be forced to move out of their own home. The Palestinians have settled in the land before anyone else and it is not fair that the Israelis took it from them. The reason why they wouldn't share the land was that they were of two different religions. One was Judaism and the other was Islam. The odd thing is, they both believe in one God, it's just that they have a few different ways of doing things. Also, many Palestinians had to move to refugee camps because their homes were gone. Between 350,000 and 400,000 Palestinians were displaced during the war. That is quite a few out of their whole population. They got two pieces of land, and one was really close to the desert. The Palestinians rightfully deserve the land.
