The Jews weren't there first. The Canaanites were there first.
Of which the Israelites are believed to have branched out from/are descended from
Zionists are basing their irridentism on the Torah, and from what I've read, the Canaanites existed in the area before Abraham was given the land as a promised land.

The Cannanite - Israelite connection is suggested by modern achaelogical information which I take as a little more reliable.
