The heart of the issue (besides the white people interfering) is religion. The Muslims see that as "once Muslim land, always Muslim land"***, and the Jews see it as the land "promised by god". Those are incompatible positions.Again, that's not accurate. The Jews see it as the land

Unlike lots of other things in the Bible, there is no doubt of the historicity of the Jewish people living there for centuries. There's coins and artifacts in Hebrew and such - we even show up in the historical records of the Romans. That's where
we're from, originally. While there are certainly
some Jews that base their vision of the Jewish homeland based on a belief that it was promised by G-d, most Jews ground it on the fact that we're indigenous to the area. It's based on history, not religion.
