Reply To: Who as here [Israel] first Jews or the Palestinians?

You have to take his words in context, and I think he’s 100% right. According to YWN these are the two statements:
“The first important thing is that the State of Israel be a Jewish state, otherwise we have no right to conduct negotiations with the Palestinians – they were here before us, we removed them from here”
“If we do not have the historical right that the Jewish people have here, we have no rights.”
The explanation is, That the arabs were living in the area for hundreds of years. Even though they were nomads or wild tribes, they were physically in the area. What then gives us a right to settle the land, in many cases, removing arabs from their villages and towns?
The only right we have to the country is as a Jewish nation. We receive that right in the Torah. Therefore, we have to build it up as a Jewish country. Read into that, that we must keep the things that makes us unique as Jews. Shabbos, Kashrus, Sanctity of marriage according to halacha.
If not, what right do we have here more than the arabs? If the Torah gave us the right to be here, we have to respect it, or lose that right.
