This is true, ancient religious claims should really hold no claim to land in the modern world. The fact of the matter is that the British that won the land from the Ottomans supported a Jewish national home in Palestine with the Balfour Deceleration. Jews purchased land from 1918-1948 and the British passed the mandate to the UN which created Resolution 181. The 2 state solution passed with 33 votes in favor, 13 against, and 10 abstentions. The Arab rejection of the UN resolution and subsequent military attack is what caused most of the Arab land loss. This is what they could have had:
The british never had a right to sell the land in the first place. Their occupation of palestine was also illegitimate. The jews themselves bombed them.
