Rabbi Charlap in his "Mei Marom" notes that this happens whenever the Jews return to the Holy Land, the nations say we are robbers (or in modern parlance they say that this is "occupied territory"), and that this is their land and not ours.
It is only when we appreciate the fact that this land is our land, received from Hashem, that the claims of the nations are silenced. Only when the Jew realizes and knows that, He "has declared to his people the power of his works, that he may give them the inheritance of the Nations." Indeed the verse from Psalms does not read "He has declared to the nations" as we might expect; rather, "He has declared to His people (amo)"! If we do not behave as if this land is ours, how can we expect others to respect our claim?
Aloh Na’aleh has been founded with the mission of helping Jews realize that Eretz Yisrael is G-d’s gift to us, and it becomes ours when we actually possess it and dwell in it. Join us to make this dream come true!

D'varim Judaism’s Social Vision
Re’eh
Giving is more than an act of generosity—it is an essential part of human dignity that belongs to everyone, rich and poor alike. The ultimate goal of help is to empower others to stand on their own.
Kuzari -Rabbi Ari Shvat Kuzari class 9 - "Seeing is Believing" (parag. 21-30)
These paragraphs elaborate on the theme that seeing and knowing is better than any attempt to prove logically, and begins explaining the difference between Israel and gentiles.
Ein Aya Various Universal Stages of the Geula Process
Rav Kook examines the various stages of redemption, explaining how (in addition to the obvious oft-mentioned stages of ingathering the exiles, reviving the Hebrew language, army, state etc.) the messianic dream of world prosperity, the State of Israel and world unity can and are realistically and logically gradually coming true.
Kuzari -Rabbi Ari Shvat Kuzari class 8- "Answering Questions on the Kuzari's Proof from Mass Revelation
How do we know that the "claim" of mass revelation to 2,000,000 witnesses at Mt. Sinai is really true? This important class answers all of the questions skeptics ask about this claim of the Kuzari.
Ein Aya Armies Still Necessary for Balance & the War Against Wars
Rav Kook explains why the world was originally divided into the various seemingly contradicting ideologies and cultures, in order to develop each one respectively. Swords or armies symbolize how each respective ideology defends themselves, as well as deters their opposing ideologies and cultures. On the other hand, the messianic era will be one of peace, and Rav Kook explains the transition to that stage, which mankind is already undergoing.
