Jews have a historical connection to Israel, but the claim on the land is established quite differently: Jews have been buying land in Palestine since the end of the Crusades, a bit here, a bit there. In the late 19th century, with the rise of Zionism, Jews around the world began to collect money in large quantities to buy more land. What is now the Jewish National Fund was established, and and by the end of the British Mandate, Jews owned large areas of what is now Israel, as well as significant parts of traditional centers of Jewish life in what is now the West Bank, particularly in long established communities such as Hebron and Jerusalem. During the 1948 war that followed the UN partition, there was considerable what we now call 'ethnic cleansing' with all of the Jews driven out of Palestinian land and perhaps half of the Arabs driven out of Jewish land. Sadly, hard feelings persist.
