The problem is that Israel isn't "another people's land". It was Jewish land for centuries as well. This is an undeniable historical fact. The UN tried to put the situation right, by making an Arab country (Jordan) and a Jewish country (Israel). However, the Arabs tried instead to use war to win the entire area. They lost. Get over it.
Israel is another peoples land except to those who supports the Zionist ideology and defend ethnic cleansing. Zionism is an ideology barely 100 years old. To supporters of Israel they have to believe this to legitimize their own actions. The Nazis legitimized their actions by saying " We have to defend our people" American settlers used to say "the manifest of the west" It was some kind of god given right that Americans expanded through the west even if this meant confiscation of the Native American land.
As for saying it was Jewish land. Does being a Jew imply belonging to a people, race? Or is being Jew a religion? After all there are Jews in Ethiopia, Iran and in Belgium. Do they all belong to the same race and have the same type of DNA? Have Jews in Ethiopia spoken the same language as Jews in Sweden?
Can Buddhist for instance go to Western China which has a Muslim population and take away their land and say. This is our land we were here first?
The other concideration one should take is that there were people living in Israel-Palestine before the creation of Israel. Since they lived before there even was a religion called Judaism should not their opinion count more?
Your quote also ignores that people over time converted to other religions. They were Jewsih but then became Christians then later on Muslims. Also it can go the other way aswell. There were Christians who converted Judaism.
How about since Jews were terrorized out of their homes 2000 years ago and Palestinians only 60 years ago. Does this mean that Palestinians can return to their homes in 1940 years?
The term. It was "Jewish Land" is only true for those who believe in that ideology.
Since the Palestinians lost does this mean that they should be oppressed by Israelis? Since the Palestinians lost they should not have their own country?

In some countries swear words are censored such as in USA and in Japan too there are words which are not allowed to be said on air where as in Scandinavia I do not think there are any swear words which get censored.
There is also a complete different approach to nuditiy. In northern Europe you see womens breasts in shampoo advertisement. However not in Japan or most other countries.
In US writers were getting jailed before for showing sympathy towards communism. These days they will get jailed for sympathising with certain millitant Islam groups. Its against American law to support what the US government labels "terrorist".
Recently in Scandinavia there have been debates on freedom of speech vs blasphemy. The carricatures of the Prohet upset many people. Scandinavia being a secular democracy where most people are not religious but from a Christian cultural background where as in the Middle East most people have a different cultural background there is bound to have some kind of friction and disagreements of opinions on what can be tolerated and what shouldnt.
What would happen if one of the major news papers in Europe or Middle East drew mock carricatures of Jews in a concentration camp?
