Questioning Qur'anic basis for Jewish right to Palestine

“As far as the solution of the Palestine issue is concerned, I completely agree with your views that we Muslims have nothing but to accept the present status quo and should try to stabilize peace. But you wrote in your book The Prophet of Peace that it is the divine and natural right of the exiled Jews of the second diaspora to settle in the land of Palestine; which verse of the Quran gives them this right? The verse you quoted, 'O my people, enter the holy land' (Quran 5:21) — was it not related only to the contemporaries of Prophet Moses?”Asked by Mohammad Yasin Khan, Bhopal
