The question of who has "rights" to the land is very interesting academically, but of very little use practically. Whether or not one decides the formation of the state of Israel was just, it has now existed for 60 years with a population of roughly 7 million people.

Shouting "go back to Eastern Europe!" while you lob a Katyusha rocket into an Israeli settlement strikes me as less-effective.
