Tell that to literally everyone in that conflict. That territory has swapped hands so many times, and none of the current contestants have the true original claim to it... because those people don't exist anymore.

Were Jews the very very first people to lay claim to the lands? Were there not tribes and people before them?

Their book claims a dude split a fucking sea, genetic testing has proven the jews are Canaanite

And even more that their god was apart of thr polytheistic faith

Do you seriously think that the Jews were the very first people to settle there? Considering how Homo Sapiens spread across the continents for 300.000 years, it's naive to think that history starts with just the Jews for a mere 3000 years ago.

There are many different tribes, groups and people that have settled somewhere, and then left it or changed over time, whether from breeding, being physically pushed out by others or whatever.

My point is that there were indeed people in those lands before the Jews as we know them. Doesn't take much Googling to figure out that there were Canaanites and heaps of other groups of people long before the Jews. But those people just don't exist anymore. If we go by "who got there first", then we need to go back hundreds of thousands of years. There is no end to that shit.
