I'm not an Anti- Semite or anything but what gave us the right to take away Arab land and make it Jewish land?

The same right that allowed the Arabs to grab Christian lands and make them Islamic (the entire Middle East was mostly Christian when the Arabs invaded in thr 600s). It was done because of guilt. In the 1930s, country after country changed their immigration laws to keep the German Jews out contributing mightily to the Holocaust.

The point is that it was not Arab land at all.

There has never been a land known as Palestine governed by Palestinians. Palestinians are Arabs. The name "Falastin" that Arabs today use for "Palestine" is not an Arabic name, but adopted and adapted from the Latin Palestina. How can an Arab people have a western name instead of one in their own language? Because the use of the term "Palestinian" for an Arab group is only a modern political creation without any historic or ethnic grounds, and did not indicate any people before 1967. An Arab writer and journalist declared: indistinguishable from Jordanians (another recent invention), Syrians, Iraqis, etc. Keep in mind that the Arabs control 99.9 percent of the Middle East lands. Israel represents one-tenth of one percent of the landmass. But that's too much for the Arabs. They want it all. And that is ultimately what the fighting in Israel is about today... No matter how many land concessions the Israelis make, it will never be enough.

What gave Americans the right to take away land from the natives that were here? Are you willing to give it back? If you are, where are you going to live? The Jewish people have a much greater right to the land of Israel than Americans have to America. Israel is the historical homeland of the Jews with evidence from in the Hebrew scriptures going back thousands of years. Whether you believe the Hebrew scriptures or think it is an embellished history book or a collection of stories, something that is not deniable is the historical evidence of Jews living in the land of Israel until the middle of the 2nd century of the common era when the Jews were defeated and exiled by the Roman empire. The Romans imported peoples to live in the land and wanted to insult the Jewish people and so searched their history and saw the turmoil with the Philistine people and named the land Philistia,aka palestein. At that time, Christianity was spreading throughout the middle east and asia with extreme anti-semetic dogmas and doctrines. With the massive defeat to the Roman army and the spreading heresies of hate for the Jew, the land of Israel was settled by military conquest around 135ad and given to the the "palestinian" people by declaration of the Romans, Ironically, most of the palestinians - to - be came from all over the region to inhabit the land and not actually the land itself. If the land could be taken from the Jews by military conquest and by declaration given to the "Palestinians", why is it so hard to accept that the same land would be given back to the Jews by declaration and then a military conquest for icing on the cake? If you're poetically minded, it is ciastic in structure.
A,B,C
first the Jews are defeated by a much stronger army and the ruling assembly renamed the land and give it to a new group of people
C,B,A
the second go around and the ruling Assembly gives it back to the Jews by Declaration, the Jews change its name back and a victory against a much stronger military force.

If that isn't peotic justice, then I don't understand what the phrase means.

Viva the JEWISH STATE OF ISRAEL and MAY IT BE FILLED WITH HOLY JEWS THAT LOVE G_D WITH ALL THEIR HEART AND SOUL AND STRENGTH!!!!!!

Actually, the land of Israel was belonged to the Jewish 200 years ago before the Romans came and banish them. Afterward the Arabs came into that piece of land and called it Palestine. So I think you should ask what gave the right to Arabs try to kick the Jewish people out. Also, remember, Arabs have a lot of place to go, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Lebenon, Jordon, Iran, Iraq and Kuwait...... And the Jewish people only had a tiny piece of land for their home country. So I don't think that is fair for them. You might say they can migrate to other countries like the United States or Europe, but there are huge amount of history of Jewish being bully by foreign race. And when they were granted their land back, it was good for both the Jewish people and other countries espacially the Europeans. First the Jewish people have their own land and don't have to be in controll anymore and the Europeans do not have to be responsible for them anymore. But in real life many people try to wipe out the fact that Israel was belonged to the Jewish and they chose to believe and support other delusions made up by other wrong people.

It was created to be the Jewish state, and by the way we did not grab the land the United nations voted on it and established the country of Israel. The rest of the Arab world is just pissed that the Jews turned it into something and beat the stuffing out of them in a war that lasted only six days. there are three major religions that claim that same part of the world that is the real problem,the Arab fundamentalists do not care where the Jews live all they care about is wiping them off the face of the planet.

Back in Old Testament days, the Jews took the land because God had promised it to them and commanded them to live there by dispossessing the inhabitants of the land. They were actually supposed to kill every Canaanite (it was the land of Canaan back then) in order to not be corrupted by the Canaanites, including the Perizzites, Hittites, etc. They didn't do that and it did cause problems for them because they worshiped the gods of the land and God brought judgment on them for committing spiritual adultery, playing the harlot with other gods, and in doing so sacrificing their children to those gods. The Canaanites had nasty religious beliefs. In about A.D. 70, the Romans kicked the Jews out of Israel and renamed the land Palestine. The Jews were forced to wander and have faced pretty intense persecution in these other lands that they've lived in, eventually culminating in the Holocaust. After the concentration camps were liberated, people felt sorry for the Jews and so the state of Israel was created because they basically had nowhere else to go. In Russia, there is evidence to suggest that they had a holocaust of Jews on a larger scale than what Hitler had done. The rest of Europe was largely anti-Semitic as well. Arab nations were mostly Muslims and Muslims can't stand Jews, especially the radicals. The radicals don't like anybody that much, even other Muslims sometimes, but they have a special hatred for Jews, and part of the reason they hate America is because we support the nation of Israel. In short, there was nowhere else to put the Jews, so the United Nations gave them back their ancient homeland. The United Nations by and large have been trying to eliminate them ever since, which is ironic and sad, but it was their idea to create Israel.

It was British land at the time, not Arab land when Israel was set up. There has been a dozen cultures/countries in the last 300 years that have laid claim to that tiny speck of land.
Right now population wise, I think the Israelites claim on the land is just as valid as any other.
Might makes right, sad but true

It's an itty-bitty teeny-weeny part of "Arab land". And the Arabs just can't move on and live like civilized people. Other Arabs have kicked the Palestinians out of their land as well. No one wants the Pals. Wonder why. Did you see their womenfolk today threatening to cut the throats of female TV personalities if they show too much skin? BACKWARD.

actually the land belonged to israel more than 5000 years ago. and considreing that hitler had just killed 6 million of them, and that after the war, other countries started to blame the jews for everything, they had to have there own country, to preserve the jewish people.

Looks like you need to read the Old Testament.
The jews had that land LOOOOOONG before the palestinians had it. They just took it back...plus there were already hundreds of thousand of jews living in palestine even before the state of Israel was re-created...and finally, the United Nations agreed with the re-creation of Israel in 1948.

That's why.
