Every square inch of this planet inhabited by humans has been taken by force by someone, from someone. Which is why the far left's arguments about "stolen land" are absurd in historical terms.
Not necessarily. If you have Palestinians that are the descendants of the indigenous Canaanite people, then they were there long beforehand. If you have Palestinians that are descendants of Jews that had converted during the Roman and later Muslim occupations, then they hold claim as old as many modern day Jews.
It's a lot more complicated and it isn't just the "far left" that refers to it as stolen land.
