Nobody alive in World War 2 was alive 3000 years ago. They had no right to ownership of that land. The Palestinians lived there for generations and were displaced by migrating Jews. Don't be daft, the Jews settling the land were 100% migrants, by the very definition of the word.
Those refugees you keep supporting where manual laborers from Syria and Egypt brought in by the British during the Mandate. Stop promulgating a myth. They did not live there for generations.
Moreover it was Arab Sheiks who sold land in Israel to Jews since the migrations from Russia and Germany started during the late 1800's. Arab Sheiks, who often did not own the land they sold, buying that land to sell it at inflated prices to Jews.
Learn some real history, prior to WWI the entire population of all Ottoman Palestine, including modern day Jordan, Gaza, half of Lebanon, Golan, parts of the Sinai and Aqaba regions, was 657,000 Muslim Arabs, 81,000 Christian Arabs, and 59,000 Jews as of a 1914 census. That included an estimate of more than 200k nomadic Bedouin, the greatest threat faced by Jerusalem which suffered their raids out of the desert. The Ottomans, when turning over the Mandate to the British, admitted they deliberately undercounted the Jewish population during that census by at least 200k because "Jews are not people." Concurrently 3% of all of Turkey was Jewish (not now). Furthermore, the Ottomans did not include non-Arab Christians in the census because "they were infidel foreigners." They also didn't include an estimated 40k Samaritans whose ancestors had been in the region when the 12 Tribes were shepherds in deserts, because they were "the human embodiment of Satan." Mohamed's "Children of the Book" to be feared and untouched.
BTW, the Bedouin claim none who claim to be Arab are not Arab unless they are Bedouin, the only Arabs.
Perhaps you also support Erdogan's latest missive, "All Christians are unwelcome and should consider leaving Turkey." 20% of Turkey's population was Christian in 1914. Now it is 2.5%. The so-called Palestinian refugees celebrated Erdogan's statement. Nice friends you have.
