I mean if you believe in the bible, the Jews have every right to reclaim that land and the Palestinians are just squatters. However, popular eblief is that the Israelis are the aggressors booting out the poor Palestinians. I know what I said is simpler than it really is, so do ALL Christians and Catholics who lives and die by the Bible on the Israelis' side? If not, then the bible is false. Furthermore, along those lines of thinking...what else is wrong in the bible?

I dont know, but along the same lines England should be given back to the Scots and Welsh, and the native Indians should have the US back.. Some things are just too far in the past to resolve.

In Genesis 12:3, God says to Abraham, the father of the people called Israel, "And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed."
The land of Canaan, which you call Palestine, was give to Abraham by God through a "Royal Grant Deed." (Genesis 13:15, 15:8ff, and 17:8) Further, after Israel left Egypt, and wandered in the desert for forty years, they launched a campaign to subdue the nations that lived there (See Joshua).
Except for the exile in the northern, and later southern kingdoms, the land of Canaan was recognized as Israelite territory. Then, after the Romans sacked Jerusalem in 70 A.D., the most recent diaspora occurred, scattering most of the Israelites to other nations. The Romans then named the region "Palestine," as a slur to the remaining residents, twisting the original word "Philistine."
In 1948, the United Nations enacted a resolution that established the State of Israel. Almost immediately, its neighbors revolted, and started a war. Israel won. In the intervening years, Israel has had to fight off its neighbors time after time.
They marginalize Israel in the United Nations, because of the large contingent of Arab nations who despise everything about Israel. So, even if there wasn't a promise of a blessing for those who bless Israel, I would support them because my Lord Jesus is one of them, and they are also the only true democracy in the region.

The Jews were kicked out by the Romans, the crux of the question is when does title pass. It would not violate the bible to believe that the PALISTINIANS have exclusive right to Israel.
Obviously if the Jews have exclusive rights to israel the americans have no rights to teh USA

True Christians are on the side of Israel, who cares about anyone else?
To be against Israel IS to be against God!
