If we're getting pedantic, the Palestinians are descendants of Philistines, who were in the area during the Kingdom of Judah. But I won't get pedantic because the point about Abrahamic descendants having claim on the land was a minor point.

If ~3,000 year old archaeological records are the basis for land ownership, do you think that all vanquished, displaced peoples should get their lands back? Do you support a land return for Kurds, Native Americans, Australian Aborigines, Aztecs, etc.--all of whom were driven from their lands much more recently?
