40. The Jews have at least as much of a legit claim to the land as Palestinians. Believe it or not...
...there has always been a Jewish presence in Israel. As way back as the 19th century, Jerusalem was majority Jewish.

Jews ethnically cleansed from Arab lands after 1948 (more refugees in number than Palestinian refugees) have a legit claim to the land.

Pretending Jews came as colonialists, imperialists, or outsiders with no connection to the land in order to steal land from the Arab 'natives' is astoundingly disingenuous.
