Israel was shown as the land of Jews (Hebrews) in The Bible over 3000 years ago.
The Jews have lived in this land ever since.
The Patriarchs and their family were in Israel (Canaan) for 220 years.The era from Joshua until the First Destruction (including the Judges and Kings) was 850 years.The Second Temple era was, according to traditional chronology, another 420 years (not 586), which included the Hasmonean dynasty. That's a total of 1490 years.
After the Second Destruction, there were thousands of Jews who remained in Israel (Judea; Palestine) throughout the Talmudic era and beyond (see for example the Talmud, Sanhedrin 17b). They were the majority of Palestine's population well into the fourth century, with records attesting to at least 43 Jewish communities, most of them in the Galilee and Jordan valley. After that, there were still Yeshivas in Israel with at least some thousands of community-members.
In the fifth century, the Jerusalem Talmud was completed in the yeshiva of Tiberias, by the disciples of Rabbi Johanan; and the Christians of Palestine declared Judaism to be a tolerated minority.
In the sixth century CE, Mar Zutra and his descendants served as head of the community and the Rabbinical academy in Tiberias.
In the seventh century, the Palestinian Jews joined the Persians in a battle to take Jerusalem from the local Byzantines, and enjoyed a brief autonomy, which the Byzantines under Heraclius officially recognized in 628. At the time of the Moslem conquest of Palestine in 638, the Jewish population has been put at no less than 300,000; and a period of flourishing began. Caliph Umar encouraged Jews to resettle Jerusalem.
In the eighth century, there were 30 synagogues in Tiberias. A Jew named Abu Issa brought his forces in battle against the Caliph.
In the ninth century, the Jews of Palestine instituted their own Gaon (leading sage) in Tiberias and later in Jerusalem.
In the tenth century, we have the greatest of the Massoretes, Aharon ben Asher and Ben Naphtali, flourishing in Tiberias.
Contemporary with Rashi (11th century), we have a Rabbi Abiathar and others, who lived in Israel (see for example Rashi commentary, Talmud Berakhot 62a), and large Jewish communities in Rafah and Ramle, Hebron, Acre, Caesaria, Jaffa, Ashkelon and Gaza.
In the 12th-13th centuries, the Palestinian Jews were harshly persecuted under the Christian Crusaders, yet many Jews continued to live in all the above-mentioned towns as well as Haifa, with Judah Halevi journeying to Palestine in 1141, Maimonides in 1165, and Nachmanides in 1286. In 1187, Saladdin invited more Jews to settle Palestine. In 1204, a group of Maghreb Jews arrived; and in 1211, 300 Rabbis arrived from France and England. In 1260, Rabbi Yechiel of Paris established a Talmud academy in Acre.
Since that time, the continual presence of Jewish communities in Palestine (Israel) is well-known and needs no reiteration.

Berl Locker has written: 'The Jews and Palestine, historical connection and historic right'
Fellow Arab countries doesn't want a settlement for Palestine Problem. They never accept the Palestine refugees even after 40 or more years as Jews done their fellow Jews. Arab countries will loose a reason to fight with Israel if Palestine solves heir ptroblem their own with Israel. Arabs want axs infinite unrest in Palestine, whether the Palestine people starved to death or shot dead, no concern over the fellow Palestines. Hello Palestines, think of your your problem, solve it with your own brain but not with the greedy Arabs. They need you, otherwise they would have settled it for you by peaceful talks years before. Palestines, you are not fools to believe in others words. You have your own brain and knowledge to settle the matter yourselves. Don't need others brain if you are not born fools. Think and act puting all the burden to Almighty Allah. He will solve for you.
The Exile of Jews from palestine is known as the Diaspora
Because Palestine keeps attacking the Jews.
The Romans renamed the province Judea as Palestina after the Philistines, the Jews historic adversaries, in order to punish them for their uprisings against Roman authority.

No. Jews had already been migrating to Israel/Palestine in substantial numbers since 1919.
There have always been Jews in Palestine. They were not the majority between the years 132 CE and 1949 CE.
Most Jews share a common Near Eastern Levantite ancestry with the Palestinian people but some Jews have intermixed heavily with their host people (i.e. Persian Jews with Persians, Spanish Jews with Spaniards, Polish Jews with Poles, etc.). Palestinians have been highly influenced by Arabs and by Islam but still retain similar cultural aspects as Jews. Arabic and Hebrew are somewhat similar (many similar words like malik/melekh, ane/ani, Allah/Eloah, etc. and grammar).
The declaration gave the Jews of Palestine the hope that they might one-day have a country of their own.
