    "It was clever because the Jews had some historical connection to the place ever since their King Herod disowned Jesus and sent him off to be crucified by the Romans."

    Think you may find the Jewish claim it goes back further , to when Moses left Egypt and crossed the Red Sea which was guessing 1000 years BC not at the time of Jesus around 0 AD
    The Palestinians have not been around nearly as long
