What are you talking about?Erm, Poles managed that little feat too, so not a unique event.
Also no evidence that modern Israel/Palestine was the "homeland" of any of the current European Jewish inhabitants. Palestine was thriving when they arrived and their first attempts failed miserably only kept alive by a huge investment by the Rotheschilds bank. The British and Palestinians were mainly responsible for the prosperity of the region. Jewish colonists could hardly have "turned a desert into a land of plenty" because the land they owned was already amongst the best agricultural land in Palestine.
If you and the rest of the nut jobs want to bring about your "Rapture" that's fine with me, you can all fuck off and leave the rest of us to clear up your mess, it would be worth it just to see the back of you all, whatever religion you claim to espouse.
Er...NO!! You seem to forget that the Ottomans owned much of the land and that most of the rest was owned by absent landlords.....from all over including the Lebanon. You could at least get your facts straight!! As for the poms.....when the Ottomans were defeated in WW1 the English(UK, Brits etc etc for the nit piccy) inherited the admin of what was a very broken land. I suggest you read accurate histories, even from Pal point of view.

Truth and reality that you find so alien and improbable.
Well my response was to Greg, because his post had no connection to what I had posted, and would respectfully suggest greg takes his own advice. You on the other hand, are beyond any help.
So you don't know the pattern of Land Ownership of those times?? That is strange to me as you have made statements that indicated you believed you knew what you were talking about.
Greg
I'm well aware of the pattern of land ownership in Palestine from Ottoman times until 1947, thank you. To me however, your posts bear no relation to anything I've written in post #6. Or perhaps you are unaware of Arab British and Turkish patterns of investment in Palestine in the 19th century?
