They have certainly been persecuted for a long long time, but actually it was not always the 'Israelis land' (lets refer to them as Hebrews instead as 'Israeli just refers to the name of a country that didn't exist then, and it's a common mistake to mix up racism with nationalism.

The land and area was settled by the descendents of the Arabs, and it was King David of the Hebrews who settled/conquered the land and claimed it for the Hebrews. They've been arguing ever since.
