'Children of Israel' is mentioned 80-something times in the Quran. I think the argument is whether it's talking about the Jewish people (as Israel = Jacob, and so 'children of Jacob') or 'children of a servant of God'. Irrespective of interpretation (because either one refers to the Jewish Jacob), between the Quran and the Bible (Genesis 16)/Torah, as well as secular texts there's plenty to prove that Jews were in the region for thousands of years.
It's actually much easier to prove that 'Palestinians' are in a line of itinerant and migratory 'tribes' and were in and out of that geographical space and not the 'owners.'
