It seems like some Jews believe Israel was their chosen land and they have the right to take it from the Palestinians. Don't you think Jesus would want them to live in peace and share the land?

Firstly, please get your basic facts right. Nobody 'stole' the land from the Palestinians. The very term 'Palestinian' referred to all the Jews, Muslims and Christians that lived in Palestine. Jews have lived there for 3000 years - continuously.
The land was divided between Jews and Arabs - the Arabs went beserk, the Jews said yes to partition. Then 7 Arab armies invaded the new Jewish state, Israel.
As for Jesus - well, since he was a practising Jew, I'm fairly sure he would be stunned by all the Israelis that have been killed by Palestinian and Islamic terrorists.
Israel represents 0.01 % of the middle east. There are already TWENTY TWO Islamic countries.
You do the maths.

Jesus will return right to Jerusalem in His Second Coming. It's in Zechariah 14.
2 I will gather all the nations to Jerusalem to fight against it; the city will be captured, the houses ransacked, and the women raped. Half of the city will go into exile, but the rest of the people will not be taken from the city.
3 Then the LORD will go out and fight against those nations, as he fights in the day of battle. 4 On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, east of Jerusalem, and the Mount of Olives will be split in two from east to west, forming a great valley, with half of the mountain moving north and half moving south. 5 You will flee by my mountain valley, for it will extend to Azel. You will flee as you fled from the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. Then the LORD my God will come, and all the holy ones with him.
Not only that, be then He will get busy on those who He drew to Jerusalem and melt their faces off:
12 This is the plague with which the LORD will strike all the nations that fought against Jerusalem: Their flesh will rot while they are still standing on their feet, their eyes will rot in their sockets, and their tongues will rot in their mouths. 13 On that day men will be stricken by the LORD with great panic. Each man will seize the hand of another, and they will attack each other. 14 Judah too will fight at Jerusalem. The wealth of all the surrounding nations will be collected—great quantities of gold and silver and clothing. 15 A similar plague will strike the horses and mules, the camels and donkeys, and all the animals in those camps.
God knows perfectly well what's going in there. He put it there, and He put all those people there. God can do that kind of thing, He can do anything, He's God after all!

The land was given to the Israelis by GOD. God tells them NOT to divide it or give it away. So, Jesus, being God, would not be happy about it, but would not be surprised either. ALL THIS is foretold in the Bible!

It's all part of the plan.
"Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about.... Jerusalem [will be] a burdensome stone for all people....in that day will I make the governors of Judah...like a fiery torch in the sheaves; they shall devour all the surrounding peoples round about..." Zechariah 12:2,3,6
Jesus also said that in the Last Days...
Matthew 24:7
"...nation (ethnos) will rise against nation (ethnos), and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places."

He would LOVE both sides as this is his message! The rest is up to them, isn't it?
