I'd say they have a bit more claim to the area than a Jewish state established in 1948. There were essentially no Jews in the British Mandate for Palestine, but the UK felt sorry for them after WW2, so gave them a bunch of land where other people were living. Then, over the rest of the 20th century, they expanded their territory through war.

Although, honestly, the world would be a better place if we just nuked the whole area and called it a day.
