Do you understand what it means when the British empire declares a land as terra nullius? The British showed up, shot anyone who resisted, and made a fiat declaration that the state of Israel now exists. And they only did it 100 years ago. The reason the Palestinians don't think Israel has a right to exist is because the entire basis of its existence is violent colonization by Britain.
It was the UN that decided there should be a jewish state in Palestine. The British even abstained from the vote.
So why did all the israeli citizens suddenly appear in this area when the UN declared it a country? And why was there a kingdom since 900 BC?
If you're interested this is a great place to start:
