Perhaps because they have decided to designate the start time of ownership just before the birth of Zionism / the Balfour declaration of the the creation of the state of Israel and neglected to go back further to ascertain who "owned" the land before
The British displaced the Aborigines from Australia the immigrants to the US displaced the Native Americans, and the borders of Western Europe have been redrawn more often than a Hollywood prenuptial agreement, land has always been stolen by one people from another as far back as there are records memories or myths
It has all be stolen a hundred times some people just shout louder about it perhaps because they believe they cannot be wrong

They did, or they did not, provide an answer to the question. Here in lies the problem with thinking that "Only The facts, Mame" is a technique that works in all situations, or even most situations, or frankly, almost all situations.
Because seeing that God did not leave or hand out ,deeds, to the property called the Holy Land, there is no way to prove the question. There is no "apriori" owner to "Land of Holy" unless all the land at all the time belongs to GOD.
And we are still looking for a people that can, or should be, called or described as "HOLY." Certainly there are no Holy People in the Middle East, West, North or South that have been discovered and not yet corrupted that can accurately be called "holy."
Ha Ha, on all this human humbility cord.

Because most people do not accept that "God's promised land" is a valid argument. If it became universally acceptable, then any group of people could claim the same. As a matter of fact, by that reasoning, even the radical interpretation of Islam that those that are not Muslims should be destroyed, must be accepted.
Another reason is that no other group of people have ever been granted this benefit, except for indigenous reservations in North and South America and, even then, they are not fully autonomous.

if u read from the Bible, you'll find that that was the promised land that God promised to give them back in the day.
they didn't steal it, for as i just said: God gave it to them. people who makes this assumptions just don't know what their talking of. people might think so because of the war over there in the middle east, but if u take in consideration.... Average 51 people are killed each day in Israel and the surrounding countries in wear with them. but in South Africa alone, an average of 52 people are killed each day and we don't even have a war. maybe people are dying in South Africa because the dutch and the British stole it from them native Africans, but that cant be true because we developed Africa for them to f*ck up again.
to get back to the point. people make this kind of assumptions because they aren't informed to the truth of history itself.

Because they (the people who believe this) never bothered to actually research the history of the region, or read the agreements and treaties that resulted in the purchase and creation of Israel.
They don't want the facts to interfere with their arbitrary beliefs.

Well, the land was originally called Palestine. And Nomadic Arabs lived there.

Probably because the Brits created Israel and then lots of Jews moved there.

Many people are ignorant and don't realize that much of the land was bought and paid for.
