Since I already addressed Canaanites (a group of tribes, Jews being one of them), let me address Babylon
The timeline below implies, that Babylon conquered Jerusalem and deported Jews, right? Which means that by the time Babylonians arrived at the gate of Jerusalem, Jews already existed and were living there. Also mote no mentions of Arabs

I think that you're quoting Hilter of all people shows how ridiculous it is that there is a pure blooded Jewish race that needs to return to the Middle East. Expelling the jews from Europe because they were seen as "other" was a big part of Nazi ideology.
I really didn't want to bring it up, because I know it touches a nerve for jews, so I'll leave it at that.
All the stuff you bring up about where the jews came from, where palestinians came from is really all irrelevant. Honestly.
Nations don't belong to one ethnicity anymore. They belong to the people living there, regardless of their ethnicity. Spain doesn't belong to all spanish speaking people, worldwide. A Mexican isn't entitled to remove a moroccan citizen of Spain from Madrid because they have some Devine right to do so. A Quebecois isn't entitled to "return" to Lyon and throw an Algerian into a ghetto. If those individuals have a strong connection with the land of their ancestors, then they can apply for immigration and move there like everyone else.
There is nothing special about Jews that entitles them a right to remove people from their homes. Mohammed in Hebron belongs in Hebron.
