Its not just Jews. During Jesus' time some 2 million Jews and 1 million non Jews lived in Palestine. By 12th century some 150 thousands remained total. The wast majority of people vanished and migrated. They were replaced by Arab tribes. Mamelukes destroyed all coastal towns in Palestine and later they were settled by Egyptian and Syrian migrants.Jews were cleansed throughout history many times by Crusaders and Babylons by massive numbers. I agree that there were Arab immigration to Palestine as well as all Arab countries but there were always Palestinians. There were always massive immigrations everywhere all over the world throughout history, so it's not exceptional here. You can't just question people right of their lands just because they received immigrants at some point in history. Anyway, Israel is there and it wouldn't accept peace.
In you take a bigger picture then some 2-3% of Middle East population were Jews. And those Jews got some 0.14% of Middle East territory for state. Thats significaly less than their portion in population. More over unlike the Arab states Israel is not pure Jewish. There is large Arab minority, Arabic is official language in Israel and these Arabs live in Israel actually even better than in neighbor Arab countries.
