Only 6% of the land was owned by Jews and 90% of that Jewish land was owned by Jewish organizations, not individuals. Jewish terrorists were blowing shit up before 1948:
The Irgun and Hagana(Jewish terrorists) were murdering Palestinians.
The Zionists intended to take all of the land for themselves. You can read their literature and the transcripts of their meetings. They were planning the transfer of Palestinian Arabs from their villages to Gaza and other locations, way before 1948. The Nikbah occurred due to Jewish terrorists, murdering Palestinians.
