[quote=Anonymous][quote=Muslima][quote=Anonymous][quote=Muslima][quote=Anonymous]You can buy it back....Prior to the formation of Israel, the jews purchased much of the land on the costal plain; at the partition, jews were 52% of the population defined as Israel.  They migrated to the land.

Upon Israeli independence, she was attacked on all sides.  Many of the Palestinians fled the land as refugees to wait out the war, until the arab nations destroyed Israel.  In fact, Israel won the war, and concurred territory.  The only land that was "stolen" was that which was vacated at the start of the war.

False. By 1920 Jews owned only [b]2%[/b] of Palestine. By 1948 when Israel declared itself a state, the Jews had increased their land ownership; but IT WAS STILL [b]LESS THAN 6%.[/b]

Robin Miller in "The Expulsion of the Palestinians 1947-1948, says, "Before 1948, Jews owned only 1.5 million of the 26 million dunams of land in Palestine . . . After the eviction of the Palestinians, Israel controlled 20 million dunams, an increase from 6% to 77% of the total. They simply stole an entire country."[/quote][/quote]

This only deals with privately owned jewish land vs all other land.   How much want owned by government (British) and turned over the UN then Israel?  I can not find that number.

The booklet "Origin of the Palestine-Israel Conflict" by Jews for Justice in the Middle East states that "in 1948, at the moment that Israel declared itself a state, it legally owned a little more than 6% of the land of Palestine.  Of the estimated 950,000 Arabs that lived in the territory that became Israel before the war,[28] over 80% fled or were expelled; some 156,000 remained.

I am talking about percentage of population, not land ownership.  The only place I mentioned land was that the jews lived on jewish owned land. [/quote]
