Wow you are missing a lot of history, over a dozen civilizations had that land before the Palestinians. Why does it not belong to them?

Before the Palestinians? Who do you think Palestinians are? Do you think they're a new group of people that took the land recently? Different groups of come into conquer the region but the residents were still them. That's how migration waves work. Especially in this region considering mostly it's not people settling in the area it's just people ruling the area from afar. Hell they are a Semitic people.

You honestly think the residents of the area were entirely purged every time a new power conquered the land?

Ah yes, the crusades where they just asked Muslims nicely to become catholic, without murdering most of them. At one point palestine was majority catholic.

Or the ottomans, known for their hospitality.

That's precisely the point. If the Palestinians have the right to the land because they were the most recent conquerors, then what happens when the next conquerer comes, claiming the same right of conquest?

Palestinians was colonized by many civilization including the ottoman and now israel. Palestinians are not conquerors
