What happened 50 years ago is massively more relevant than what happened 3000 years ago. For one thing, we don't really know what happened 3000 years ago. There is a considerable school of thought among historians that King David and all those stories are complete myths (along with Jesus and other Biblical characters). Furthermore, the current Israeli immigrants are hardly, if at all, related to the Hebrews of 3000 years ago. In contrast, the Palestinians of today are the very same people who were dispossessed 50 years ago, or they are direct descendants.
