Yeah it doesn't matter now.
I'm no expert. But I think most/many countries were started like, "hey those people have land and stuff we want, and our weapons are better than theirs. Let's take it!"
The Jews were coming off a few centuries of being tortured and stuff capped off by the Holocaust so I think their land grab was better justified than say, my own country's. Even if it was not fully justified.
The location was really badly chosen and it might have been better if they all just went to the US back then.
But we can't change the past and it's not all that important now. Most people alive today had nothing to do with that so i think it's a bit pointless to argue about it, as it pertains to current policy issues.
