It's more like ... the way israel was formed. A homeland of Jews might be their right, but the way they acquire that homeland is the question here. If the Jews had acquired their homeland through political struggle or by buying off an uninhabited land, we would be very happy to accept it. But they did not acquire their homeland like that. They tore it off from an already sovereign and established country. For example, if Parsis buy off a large patch of land in Pakistan and tomorrow claim that it's their own free homeland, shall we accept that?
The link you have posted does imply that it is a prophecy that the Jews would return to their original abode before the day of judgement, but this prophecy does not justify their wrongdoings and their brutalities. If you are told that after 5 years, your brother will be murdered by a serial killer (God forbid!), and it happens like that, will you forgive the serial killer simply because it was prophecised earlier?
I guess not.
That's why I said Regardless of whether or not Israel is "right", the Muslims should accept and recognize the state of Israel.
Anyway
The Jews purchased land from the Arabs, and they conquered land in their (defensive) war against the Arabs.
Both methods are considered legitimate (for acquiring land) in Islam.
Why double standards ?
As for the link I posted, the point was:
From an Islamic point of view, there is NO fundamental reason which prohibits Muslims from recognizing Israel as a friendly State.
