Jewish persons from the US and Europe following the political movement of Zionism began immigrating to Palestine and in 1947 declared themselves to be a nation.
If your homeland was suddenly declared to be the homeland of foreigners- would you not hold resentment and declare war until they leave?

They were given that nation. Israel (and not Palestine) was then invaded. Under international law, Palestine no longer has the right to exist because all of the land that Israel seized beyond the 1948 borders, was seized while defending Israel from a foreign attack, of which Palestine was a part.
I suggest that you take a class on the Jewish Diaspora. You're view will change. Particularly with regard to presenting Jews as foreign to that land.
