Obviously they need more land. But that's not what I'm justifying.
Then why say it?
Why has the population risen from 1.4 million to 7 million? Was it births, or was it immigration? If a country was looking like it was getting so full it would have to take the lands of its neighbours, should it not introduce steps to prevent immigration and reduce family size?
By your logic, if the size of my family increases, perhaps I should take my neighbours garden to grow more potatoes?

It's no different.
That is a weak argument at best. Would that make it OK for me to stake a claim to some part of Northern Germany, as my ancestors came from there 1500 years ago?
Are the current israelis the first nations people of the land? Is that what gives them the right? I take it you must support the removal of all non first nations people from North and South America and Australia? Would you support those in Wales and Cornwall retaking England from the likes of me as they were here way back when?
The historical land of Israel existed in its own right more than two thousand years ago. I will wage those alive then are not alive now to be proud of those living in Israel.

Migrant.
The name of the country England is derived from the region in Northern Germany / Southern Denmark. So what is in a name?
