Both sides can lay claim on the land and you know what? There are plenty of peoples that also can lay claim to it. That area have belonged to the Ottomans, the crusader states, the Romans, the Egyptians... I can go on forever. While it's interesting from a historical standpoint it's utterly irrelevant who can trace back ownership the furthest. Israel is the top dog in the neighborhood and they decide what happens to Palestine. Maybe in the future the power balance won't look like this but as of now this is the reality.
There has never been an instance in history where the losers of a war has dictated the peace term for the victors, ever. The Arab nations declared war and guess what they lost, now they have to live with the consequences. It's hard to have sympathy for people that declared war multiple times, lost every single time then come cry about it. You are the weaker side, you want to live there? Then you have to compromise and take one of their peace deals, you cannot claim 100% of all land when you are the losing side, I am sorry but this is reality no matter where you are in the world, you declare war and you lose then there will be consequences.
Make a deal, take a smaller land mass and try to establish your nation from there OR fight to the last man in a series of endless wars, you pick one.
