Israelis believe they have a historical and religious claim to the land on the eastern shore of the Mediterranean Sea based on biblical narratives that link the Jewish people to the region, particularly as the ancestral homeland of the Jewish people. This belief is reinforced by the long history of Jewish presence in the area, as well as the Zionist movement in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, which sought to establish a Jewish state in response to widespread persecution. The establishment of the State of Israel in 1948 further solidified this claim in the eyes of many Israelis. Additionally, historical events, such as the Holocaust, have shaped a sense of urgency for a secure homeland.

What was the name for Arabs who claim Israel as their own?

It depends on how they make that claim. Bedouin and Druze claim that Israel belongs to them as much as it belongs to the Jews and proudly call themselves Bedouin Israelis and Druze Israelis. A number of Arabs who formerly lived in what is now Israel or the Occupied Territories claim that the Jewish State is illegitimate and demand that country be returned to them for administration. These individuals are called Palestinians. (Admittedly, a number of Palestinians are willing to allow Israel to exist outside of the Occupied Territories, but there is no difference in naming between the Two-Staters and the One-Staters.)
