The Jewish people have regained their homeland at the expense of their own blood and toil.

The indigenous population, many of whom were Jews, had the option of accepting this fact. When many of them allied with the surrounding pan nationalist Arab countries and tried to kill the Israeli State, they set in motion the circumstances that led to their own suffering.

As to some long-lived connection to the past, a load of Turkish land grants and certificates means nothing.

They were squatters then, they are squatters now.

That's how the Arab countries feel about them, they are useful as long as they irritate Israel. If they are not doing that, the hell with them.
