The reason them being gifted a country that they wanted is a bad thing because of the effect it’s had on the native population in the area.
There’s an argument that people make that Jews were indigenous to the area. That is probably true, but so are the Palestinian people. Depending on how you look at it, the ancestors of the Palestinians may have actually pre-dated those of the Jewish people in the area. However, what’s even more relevant is that the Jewish people who returned to create the modern state of Israel had not lived in the area for over 1000 years.
