No matter what ancient history jews had with the land, or what aspirations they had to retake the land, or even the amount of land they had bought up and begun converting to farmland... that does not devoid the human rights of Arabs who also live in that region.
1. That they are there at this time in history when so much other related to Biblical prophecy emerges on the scene attests to the validity of the Biblical prophetic assurances given milleniums ago to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob that the land was promised forever to the Jews by Jehovah, God belongs to the Jews and that the God Jehovah's word is standing true as spoken long ago. Naturally and humanly speaking, the Jews should've never made it back as Jews after 19 centuries of dispersion, nor survived the tremendous odds against their survival in the land.
2. By the time Israel became a nation in 1948, my understanding is that only about 3% of the land was rightfully owned by whom we know as the Palestinians.
3. The reason the Arabs were willing to sell the land to the immigrating Jews in the first place is because before the Jews began to immigrate there was not a tree standing in the land, which was a noman's unproductive desolated wilderness suited only for nomadic herdsmen. The fig tree indeed began to blossom with the advent of the providentially rightful owners, precisely as Jesus had prophesied 19 centuries prior.
4. After the Jews began to work the land and render it productive, the Arabs decided it would be nice to have it back. This coupled with the Islamic Ismaelish religious ferver over the Temple Mount significance as to who's descendents would prevail in the end, those of Abraham's handmaid, Ishmael or those Abraham's wife, Isaac has brought the focus of world news to the Middle East and specifically to the land known as Palestine, precisely at the time the Biblical prophets, including Jesus himself fortold. Armageddon will be where it all ends.
