You’re completely mistaken. Here’s the timeline.

  1. Romans conquer Jerusalem. Jews were oppressed and discriminated against. The area is largely Jewish.
  2. Western Roman Empire falls. Eastern Roman Empire, Byzantines, hold Jerusalem. Christians from Western Europe move to Jerusalem. The majority of the area is now Christian. Scholars seem to think it went from majority Jewish to Christian a bit after Constantine converted to Christianity. Judaism is the only non Christian religion tolerated, but Jews still face discrimination and oppression.
  3. Byzantine - Sasanian War begins. The Jewish community revolts against the Byzantines and helps the Persians conquer Jerusalem.
  4. Jews rule autonomously for a few years, then Persia reneges on their alliance. The Byzantine emperor promises to restore Jewish rights as part of an alliance, and the Jews help oust the Persians. The emperor goes back on his word and orders a massacre of the Jews. The Jewish population is heavily reduced, with some fleeing to Egypt.
  5. The Rashidun Caliphate (Arabs) conquer Jerusalem. There’s a brief period of peace and prosperity. The land is initially majority Jewish or Samaritan, but slowly becomes an Arab majority as Arabs move there. This begins in the year 638 and ends in 717 when there were new laws oppressing and discriminating against Jews. This, and a series of Muslim civil wars, causes the Jews to leave. There’s a substantial reduction in the Jewish population.
  6. The Crusades begin. Jews and Muslims alike are enslaved and killed by the crusaders. The majority of the Jewish population is killed in the Siege of Jerusalem, and the survivors sold as slaves.
  7. The Ayyubid Dynasty drives away the Crusaders. There is peace, and some Jews return
  8. The Ayyubid Dynasty is overthrown by the Mamluk Empire. They heavily oppress the Jews and Christians, and through mismanagement, usher in significant economic decline. A lot of Jews leave.
  9. The Ottoman Empire conquers the region, and there is relative peace and stability.

So who stole the land? Who drove off and killed the Jewish residents? In order, it seems the Romans, Byzantines, Persians, Byzantines again, Arabs, Christian crusaders, and Mamluk. The Ottomans control the area into the modern era.

Europeans were largely the ones who stole this land and killed the Jews who lived there. Some Muslims did as well, and some other Muslims helped the Jews for some time.

Next time I suggest actually understanding the history before running your mouth like a fool.
