About 6% of the land was purchased by these Zionist Jewish organizations, like the "Palestine Jewish Colonization Association
About 6% more than the Arabs purchased.
There were Palestinians who owned land as individuals, together as families, as collectives working the land..etc.
How much? Link?
According to international law, the Zionist state of Israhell is occupying Palestinian territory. The West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza.
It wasn't Palestinian territory when Egypt held Gaza or when Jordan held Samaria, JUDEA and East Jerusalem.
That depends. You're still an American if the US loses the war, aren't you?
Yes, they're still Arabs who don't own any land.
About 6% more than the Arabs purchased.
Prove it. You're making ridiculous claims and like I pointed out in my last post to your Zionist drivel, you're not capable of delegitimizing a people's roots or connection to the Holy Land based on some modern, capitalist metric of property or real estate ownership. You're just a deluded neo-colonialist.

I already provided links. Official UN and British documents.

"It wasn't Palestinian territory when Egypt held Gaza or when Jordan held Samaria, JUDEA, and East Jerusalem."
- After the 1948 Arab-Israeli war, the armistice lines left the West Bank under Jordanian control and the Gaza Strip under Egyptian control. While it's true that Egypt and Jordan administered these territories, the local Palestinian populations in these areas still identified as Palestinians. In 1950, Jordan annexed the West Bank, but this was not widely recognized internationally. Notably, Palestinians in the West Bank became Jordanian citizens until the disengagement in 1988. The Egyptian control of Gaza did not result in annexation, and Gazans were not granted Egyptian citizenship. None of this justifies the Zionist apartheid state, much less strips Palestinians from being the natives of the land.
- "Arabs owned no land or their homes, they were just renters."
- This is not accurate. During the Ottoman and British periods, land ownership records clearly indicate that Arab Palestinians owned a significant majority of the land in what became Mandate Palestine. It's also important to note that land ownership in the region was often communal or familial rather than individualistic, which can create confusion when capitalist shitheads like Todd, analyze records from a modern, Western capitalist perspective.
- "There was no Palestine or Palestinian land before 1948."
- While it's true that there was no independent state called "Palestine" before 1948, the term "Palestine" was used to describe the geographic region for centuries, including under the Ottoman Empire and during the British Mandate. Furthermore, the people living in the region developed a distinct Palestinian identity over time.
- Denial of the Nakba.
- The Nakba, or "catastrophe," refers to the displacement of hundreds of thousands of Palestinian Arabs during the 1948 Arab-Israeli war. This is a well-documented historical event with both primary sources (such as testimonies, photographs, and documents) and secondary sources (historical analyses by scholars). To deny it is akin to denying any other well-established historical event, like for example, the Jewish Holocaust.
- NAKBA:
- Above is the picture of Imwas, before it was destroyed by the Jewish Zionists. Palestinians lived in that village, and had to leave after it was leveled to the ground:
- Todd;s claim that Palestinian Arabs "owned nothing" and they were all "renters" in the above village is just stupid.
- "Palestinians didn't have a right to any of the land."
- This is a subjective claim. The Palestinian Arabs, as the majority population of Palestine for centuries, would argue that they had rights to the land both from a historical residence perspective and from land ownership documents from the Ottoman and British periods. When one presents Todd with such documents he flippantly dismisses them, claiming that the actual owners of the properties were Ottoman Turks from Turkey despite the document identifying the owner as a Palestinian Arab. What evidence is there for his claim that the Arab Palestinians owned nothing? Nothing, Todd's imagination.
