more or less every territory belonged to another tribe in the past. Should descendants of Prussia be allowed to take over Poland and Germany today?

That's a great point. Should anyone be allowed to take over Israel today?
No. But does Palestine still exist or is it Israel? Is Syria Israel? Lebanon? Jordan? Egypt?
The word Palestine is a geographical term. The only political entity to include the name Palestine was Mandatory Palestine. And that entity no longer exists.
