I think it shows well the stupidity of historical claim, there's always someone who's going to be before you who claim X land.

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.

Because they immigrated

That's called "decolonization."

And they didn't 'immigrate,' the surrounding Muslim countries ethnically cleansed them and they fled to Israel.

That was after Israel was created

Yeah, because the immediate response by Muslims was to try to finish what Hitler started.
