I do not think Christians should be living on lands God promised for the Jews and no one else.

This Jew disagrees with you. There's nothing in the Bible, or in Judaism, that requires a 100% Jewish-only state in the Land of Israel. Many non-Israelites lived in ancient Israel, some having been given special protection by Joshua Ben-Nun (Joshua 6:17-25; 9:6-27).

Even if Israel was a theocratic Jewish state (it's not), Jewish law would require affording non-Jews who aren't idolaters full civil rights and equal protection. (Exodus 22:20 -- "You shall not wrong or oppress a stranger, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt") (Leviticus 19:33-34 -- "When an alien lives with you in your land, do not mistreat him. The alien living with you must be treated as one of your native-born. Love him as yourself, for you were aliens in Egypt. I am the LORD your God.")

But Jews consider us Christians idolaters b/c they see Jesus as a false god.
