1920s max bruh, this is a colonial issue, especially since it was initially set off by Britain.

There's plenty of documented media of Palestine existing rather normally as a loose collection of cities around the area. Lots of photographs and written logs of people who visited. Population was mostly Muslim and then Christian.

Before Britain, it was simply under control of the Ottoman empire.

It all set off when Britian made it a colony and set off a nationalization movement with the Balfour Declaration. It doesn't matter that it was historically fought over by several civilizations, it's just that GB didn't want to deal with Jews either, and decide shipping them off to a colony was a good idea, since it worked well with Australia.
