While surveying natural limestone caves in the Galilee, scientists have discovered hundreds of limestone caves in which Jews hid when Roman troops came marching through 2,000 years ago, during the Great Jewish Revolt (66-70 CE).
Extensive embellishment such as baths and candle niches carved into the rock show that the caves had been prepared for extensive habitation.
Water cisterns carved into the rock, as well as pitchers, pottery shards, coins, and other artifacts dating to the 1st century C.E. were found in many of the cliff shelters, say Dr. Yinon Shivtiel from the Safed Academic College and Vladimir Boslove of the Israeli Cave Research Center. The work was funded by the Safed Academic College Research Foundation.
The cave entrances are pretty easy to spy, for a hiding place...

Dr. Walter Block has some very interesting writings on just reparations [walterblock.com] for property taken generations ago. Basically property should be returned to just owners, but the burden of proof gets more and more difficult as time goes by. Kind of a natural statute of limitations.
Looks like he has also given a lecture [mises.org] on the subject.
His writings were about slaves in America of African origins but I would think it would also apply to the question of the middle east. Block is Jewish but atheist; I don't think he had in mind addressing the question of Jewish ownership of Palestine, but I could be wrong. For what it's worth his mentor Murray Rothbard, also Jewish and atheist, thought that it would be best for Jews to just establish a new homeland in America.
