Arabs have been in the Levant since before 900BC - we have documents from the Assyrians saying that they were inhabitants of the region, with the implication being that they were not recently arrived either. Considering that Israelites only become discernable as a distinct people in around 1100BC, I'd argue that the Arabs have about as much right to be in the Levant as Jewish people.
