Sorry I meant if Moses and Judaism was born in Egypt, why Israel claimed Palestine, not Egypt

Thank you Martin S, so far I liked your answer the best.
And for the gentleman who made fun of my question by saaying Germany, please don't compare me to that criminal Iranian president. Him and anybody else like that sells god and enslave human being. I am seccular and for closeness and unity of people with different religions and backgrounds. It was a honest question from curiosity.

Because they were descendants of Abraham.

Genesis 15:12 As the sun was setting, Abram fell into a deep sleep, and a thick and dreadful darkness came over him. 13 Then the LORD said to him, "Know for certain that your descendants will be strangers in a country not their own, and they will be enslaved and mistreated four hundred years. 14 But I will punish the nation they serve as slaves, and afterward they will come out with great possessions. 15 You, however, will go to your fathers in peace and be buried at a good old age. 16 In the fourth generation your descendants will come back here, for the sin of the Amorites has not yet reached its full measure."

Exodus 3:6 Then he said, "I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob." At this, Moses hid his face, because he was afraid to look at God. 7 The LORD said, "I have indeed seen the misery of my people in Egypt. I have heard them crying out because of their slave drivers, and I am concerned about their suffering. 8 So I have come down to rescue them from the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land into a good and spacious land, a land flowing with milk and honeythe home of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites. 9 And now the cry of the Israelites has reached me, and I have seen the way the Egyptians are oppressing them. 10 So now, go. I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring my people the Israelites out of Egypt."

In the book of Genesis, the first book of the Jewish Bible, G-d promises the land of Israel (the borders of which are specified in the text) to Abraham and his descendants through Isaac.
As you know, Abraham lived long before Moses.
Besides, the name Palestine was given to Israel by the Romans, who wanted to erase any connection the Jews had to their homeland.
Palestine as a country did not exist until 1967, and the Palestinians as a people did not exist until then either.
Pelastinians are really Jordanian, Egyptian, and Syrian Arabs.
Jordan occupies almost 80% of the srea the British mandate gave to the Israeli Arabs.
And finally, please keep in mind that Jerusalem has been the capital of Israel for 3,015 years.
That is OVER THREE THOUSAND years.
