Comparing a mythical text written by a self-interested party with the homicide of the decendents of those persons is absurd. That is so far beyond comparing apples and oranges!
Maybe I can put my point another way. Let's say I am a Texan. I then move from Texas to Hawaii. I write a book that has a character who is the "Lord of the Universe". In the story, this "Lord" grants to me the land of Hawaii- declaring me and my family as Hawaii's chosen people.
That is obviously a fabricated, mythical land grant. There is no legal deed to Hawaii that I could should that would hold up in any court of law. There are no witnesses but my family members who swear upon the story that it is true (forget for a moment how circular that is).
The holocaust did occur.....the millions of deceased Jewish people prove this. Doubting genocide in no way logically follows or is comparable to doubting a swindle!

Oops...corrections from the last details added:
descendents was misspelled
"That I could should..." should read "I could show..."

Read up on the bible,that will answer your question.I am not a religious person but the answer is there.., it is not a mythical land grant.They were there first in the "holy land".How much land have they given to the palistinians only to get bombed day after day.You cannot buy peace as the aggressors will only want more,you have to fight to gain peace.Will a bully leave you alone if you keep giving him your lunch money after he has beaten you up on a daily basis?No you whoop his butt to get him to leave you alone.

The nation of Israel was given Canaan's Land from Yahweh (name of god, the Jews still use this name). Although he gave it to them it was not the holy land. The holy land was the kingdom of heaven. In Hebrews the 11 chapter and Galatians 4:26 it goes into it.

Umm... Nice try to cause chaos. But, in reality, it's like saying the Holocaust never happened.
(Holocaust)
Did YOU or I see it? No.
Do OTHERS besides Jews say it happened? Yes.
Were there people OTHER THAN Jews saw it and were included in it (Tortured)? Yes.
So, If you ask "Is the sky blue?" EVERYONE WILL SAY "yes" in their answer at some point.
And, instead of making US track it down, google it and look for it yourself.

Israel is a land grant, made in 1946, in a land that used to be Palestine. Why do you think the PLO is p.o.ed?

the bible gives clues to the possibility that those people have legal right to the land. Plus there land was stolen from them from other governments.
See Emperor Hadrian for that information.
