"Actually it was British controlled land given to the Jews."

Was that before or after the Western terrorists killed four British soldiers a day for years, and many more Palestinians?

Britain did not give the land to the Jews, but turned tail, reneged on their responsibilities as administrators for that land. In short they f#*@ked up.

Perhaps you should do more reading on the subject.

May I suggest a few books by Tom Segev?

One Palestine, Complete : Jews and Arabs Under the British Mandate

One Palestine Complete

Perhaps you are getting all your history lessons from CBS news?

"had the Muslims had any shred of honesty or dignity they would have admitted they stole from the Jews, they murdered Jews for a thousand years, and for the jews to kill a few Muslims is only just after the Muslims have mistreated jews for centuries."

Do you write your own history as you go?

When I think of "Isra'El", I think of the land of Canaan.

Jews were predominately in Jerusalem after the destruction of the Temple in 70 C.E.

Can someone please point me to any provable decedents of the ancient Philistines? Barring that, there is no Arab claim on the land. There have been Jews living continuously in the land for over two millennia.

It is Jewish land.

Prior to Arafat, Jews and muslims got along in the land.
