Votto, et al,
Interesting question.
Religion and Sovereignty are mutually exclusive. By definition, the sovereign power determines the relationship between the government and the religion (if any). But a religion does not determine sovereignty.
The ancestral connection between a people and the land, while playing a part in the logic used by the Allied Powers in 1920, is not a necessary of sufficient condition for the assignment of territorial sovereignty.
This is a concept that is closely related to something that we contemporarily call "nation building." The Allied Powers used the phrase: "all Jews who are willing to assist in the establishment of the Jewish national home."
The entire Arab-Israeli Conflict is about the continuous struggle surrounding the "establishment of the Jewish national home;" with the Arab-Palestinians fighting to oppose, and the Jewish fighting to succeed.
Most Respectfully,

(COMMENT)The Jews received their land from the UN, and then fought for it. They also can trace their ancient roots to the land.

(COMMENT)Considering the historic religious persecution throughout the world in history and present, if I were a Jew I would fight for it to the death.
