Yea, the central problem with this argument is that if all original claims to land are going to be obeyed, we are all going to have to move.
If you want to get technical about who had what most recently, the answer is clear. Those territories are Ottoman land, the Ottomans are not there anymore, and everyone living there wanted them gone. The strongest argument for the jews is that they tried long before the state of Israel to live in the territories in relative peace. Getting into what happened to found the state of Israel is, like Al Cap used to say, "I thought he was going to hit me so I hit him back first". Lots of water went under the bridge.
Today the situation is that if you "want the people living in Israel to go back where they came from" you are up against the fact that %80 of the people there are from the middle east, some %60 refugees who were expelled from other middle eastern countries, and %20 Arabs who lived in the area and decided to live in the state of Israel and become citizens. So these are people who have nowhere to return to, in many cases escaped death to come to Israel, and they are nuclear armed.
Thus "from the river to the sea", what you want ain't gonna be. What everyone in the territory has is a right to live side by side in peace.
