some fundamental context you need to understand when assessing competing claims in the Israel/Palestine conflict is that it is the common view in Palestinian society that any and all Jewish history in Ancient Israel & Judah is entirely fabricated “Zionist propaganda”—up to and including the very idea that the Jewish Temple ever existed, or that the Jewish Patriarchs (Abraham and Isaac and Jacob) or any of the Jewish prophets were Jewish at all.
this is the source of the belief that Jews do not have any ties to the land. a flat out denial that anything in Jewish holy texts is truly Jewish—that, in “fact”, they were Muslim—and Jews have fabricated their entire history.
