They didn't own it because it was stolen by the Europeans. 300,000 people had homes they build and lived in. Then you say the British had the right to step in and those homes and give them to the Zionists? Same mentality as when the Europeans took Africa and America and carved it up for themselves with their only rights to the land being the ability to produce bigger and better weapons then the people that lived there.
If you live somewhere that you built that is your home. When an outsider takes it, it's called theft.
Ok.... who does England belong to.
Italy? Australia?
Pick any plot of land... any country.. The people that live there and govern it... are not the original people of that area.
In history.. you got a big tribe... you attack the neighbour tribe. You kill the men, rape the women and then take the land. If you lose, they kill your men, rape your women and take your land.
Brutal.. but.. true.
This went on for centuries.
Nobody, then, owns the land that they have. Every previous owner took it from someone else.
The very first owners stumbled on to open land with nobody there.. What makes it theirs? Just because they found it?
It's a slippery slope... trying to find the actual owners of land.
God said that He would scatter the Jewish people... That happened.
God said that He would gather them back together... He did.
Now, they posess their original promised land. It's Gods will and it won't ever be taken from them or even given away.
