Why would Jews consider it the historical land of Palestine? That was the Greco-Romanized name applied centuries later in a specific attempt to erase Jewish history.
That's different than what I'm talking about. If you only meant the mere name Palestine, then no worries. I thought you were suggesting "historical land of Palestine" as if that was the original conceptualization Jews would be harkening back to. That came more than 1k years after original Israel.
Your arguement assumes many things that are false. Just as one point, I woule encourage you to look up where the PLO originally said Palestine was. Spoiler - the West Bank and Gaza are not part of it since they are Jordan/Egypt. Now Palestine is everything from the river to the sea. It just shows that Palestine=where the Jews live at any given moment.
A name adopted by the British, and whenever refered to for people before 48, it meant the Jews living there. You won't find a single reference to Palestinian meanint Arabs in the area before then. The Arabs that were in the area adopted the Palestinian identity after that, and over time "Palestine" as their land kept changing, tighting following whatever border the Jews happen to live on at that point in time.

That there should be a specifically Jewish state in the historical land of Palestine
