Exactly, what's a country?
Israel never existed either, until it was administratively created in 1948. Maybe it shouldn't have been created where other people were already living?
You started with “occupying their country”. Can you tell me what country is that?
Indeed. But what is a country? Is it a place where people live and have their identity, or does it need to be "ratified" by the UN? Before 1945 were there no "countries"?
Does it legitimise the invasion of someone's land? I don't think so

Phrase it "occupy their land", then it will certainly be correct.

If it's not a different country from Israel, then give them Israeli citizenship.
There's a very simple reason Israel doesn't give the Palestinians citizenship: Israel wants to make sure the large majority of voters are Jewish. It wants the land, but not the people who live there.
