I remember watching a documentary called Promises, which featured a US filmmaker talking to six or seven children from Israel/Palestine. One of the Israeli-Jewish children pointed to the 'fact' of their being granted the land by God, while one of the Palestinian children referenced a 1920s or 30s legal document his family had, indicating their ownership of a piece of land.
