It doesn't matter who lived where historically. Refer to quee's post.

You can not just say, "we lived there 2,000 years ago" so it should be ours now because of the countless other groups of people that have been taken over and moved out. And even so, the Jews have only lived in Israel for 1,000 years out of the past 3,000 since Judaism has only been around for that long. That means that Arabs have been living there for twice as long as the Jews and you say that it is the land of the Jews?

Also, Judaism as it was 2,000 years ago is dead ever since the Romans burned down the temple so there is no need for an Israeli homeland. But, even if there old religion didn't die, no religion or group of people should be given land on the blood of others. If something has already happened, not much we can do but help integrate the populations and that is what we should be doing with Palestine.
