[B]Two additional responses: Before the Christians, it was the Pagan Romans who controlled the Holy Land. Before the Romans it was The Babylonians. Before the Babylonians it was the Hebrews. Before the Hebrews there were various semitic tribes, who are now known collectively as "Palestinians." So perhaps we should roll the clock all the way back through human history and give the holy land back to the people who were truly there first.
All true and all valid, but I am a firm believer in "To the victor go all the spoils". Christians lost and tried to get it back, can't blame for trying.
