Confusion about Palestine/Israel origins

I have a question. I really hope at least one person can help me or point me in the right direction.

So Israel is on Palestine's land, right? They moved in there and made it their own and have mistreated the Palestinians. That's a fact. I know that. My question is why is Israel calling this THEIR land??? When Moses took the Jews out of the land of Egypt, where did the Jews settle? Were there already people already in the land the Jews settled in or was it a barren land with no other inhabitants? Did they take over a city/town/country or did they just create their own city/town/country out of unclaimed land? Also, when did they leave this land and why? What happened that caused the Jews to loose the land Moses led them to before they took over Palestine? I hope someone can help me. I've been looking for these answers everywhere but can't seem to find them.

What prompted me to wonder about these things is that my father (a Christian) was trying to talk to me the other day about how Israel is the chosen nation, blah blah blah, and the land they have is THEIRS and was theirs before it belonged to Palestine. I don't agree with him but I had no way to back up my beliefs because I don't have any historical/Quranic or other facts to support this belief of mine.

I hope someone can help me!

Jazak Allah khair.

It is very difficult to answer you question by writing on a message board. We know that religion is different from race but The isreali propaganda will try and convince you that Judaism is a religion and a race.

There is No evidence that the Romans sent the Jews into exiles around 60-100 AD. You might be shocked to know that the Jewish people who lived during time Jesus PUH continued to live in Palestine all along and they are non other than the Palestinian peasants. Actually Ben Gorion wrote that he was convinced Palestinian peasants were true descendants of the jewish kingdom

I recommend reading The Bible unearthed .

Salaam,

This is sort of off point but I thought you would be interested to know that Judaism teaches that the Jews are in exile from Israel as punishment for losing their way. So while they beleive it is their "promised land" they also have a prophecy that states they cannot get back that land until the Messiah comes. (they don't believe he has come yet)

There are Jews actually protesting the establishment of Israel as a state because they beleive that these men are trying to force the hand of God. And eventually the wrath of the Almighty will be even more horrific due to their bull headedned.
