You don't even mention the 3 times Jews had established rule. Not one time has the Palestinian people ruled the land. They were nomads. They never had their own central government. I am pretty passionated on this subject because of people like you who twist hatred toward the Jews when all they want is peace. The relevance is the past is pointless seeing as how they are settled.
The simple fact is Hamas is a terrorist organization that has a single goal which is its crusade to destroy Israel. Hamas doesn't want peace with Israel. Hamas only cares for civilian casualities for propaganda and forces them in harm's way. If Hamas cared for peace. If it cared for its people, they wouldn't then be receiving and using thousands of rockets which only gives Israel the right to retaliate. What sense does it make to attack Israel? What sense does it make to instead demand food and medicine instead of rockets? The problem is Iran is using them as a proxy. Iran themselves don't care about the casualities. They use them as propaganda too to try to spread hatred toward the Jews.
Besides, Arab countries prefering to give up munitions than food and medicine, why doesn't Hamas use its time to build homes and businesses instead of elaborate tunnel networks which sole purpose is to attack Israel? Israel wants peace and accepted a two state solution that frankly Hamas never deserved but they refused because they don't want there to ever be a Israel. Israel doesn't attack for land but only to stop and eliminate the threat. Israel once got attacked by Egypt and gained portions of land ten times it size. They returned it for peace with Egypt. Israel had Gaza and returned it as a gesture for peace with the Palestinian people. What more needs to be said?
