No. Israel stole the land from the Palestinians

Russia was defending the Russian Ukrainians of the Donbas and fighting against NATO expansion

Opinion. This statement can't be labeled simply true or false because it presents hotly debated political viewpoints about two complex international conflicts rather than clear-cut facts. The claim about Israel "stealing" Palestinian land reflects one side of a long-running dispute where both Israelis and Palestinians have historical connections to the same territory, and people disagree about who has legitimate claims based on history, international law, and the circumstances around Israel's creation in 1948. Similarly, saying Russia was "defending" ethnic Russians in Ukraine's Donbas region is the Russian government's explanation for its invasion, but Ukraine and most of the international community see it as an unprovoked attack on a sovereign country, noting that many people in Donbas considered themselves Ukrainian citizens regardless of what language they spoke. These kinds of statements represent competing narratives about complicated conflicts where different sides interpret the same events in completely different ways, making them matters of political perspective rather than facts that can be definitively proven right or wrong.

You do a good job summarizing the issues at hand (which are, as you said, hotly debated political viewpoints), but notably lack sources. This would be more informative if you directed viewers to other sources that explain each perspective more in-depth. Even if the competing viewpoints make it impossible to declare this statement true or false, we need more information about what the competing viewpoints actually assert in order to get a clearer, more comprehensive picture.

This statement is true.

"Jews had historical links to the land, but Palestinian Arabs also had a claim dating back centuries and opposed the move. The British said the rights of Palestinian Arabs already living there had to be protected." Palestinians and Israel have been in turmoil for a long time. Through the multiple killings and kidnappings of Palestinians in recent years, Israel abused their power to overtake the land. Many militaries including the United States support Israel by giving military aid. Israel has been in disagreement with Palestine for many many years.
