And then they brag about buying land in Palestine that they already owned.So God gave all the land to Jews? What a decent chap.The bottom line is the land belongs to the Jews, all of it. In my eyes, it always did. Whether someone else was in control of it for a time, during the Jews exile, it matters not a wit. The land was given to the Jews by God and they have returned to their homeland. Long Live Israel.The United Nations map is a lie. Look at this report:This guy is serious. He doesn't believe that Muslims and Christians were 95% of the population in Palestine in the 1800s. Notwithstanding the census data and the documentary film evidence. Unbelievable.
It makes one wonder how it was possible that the Muslims and Christians still owned 85% of the land in Palestine in 1945, as surveyed by the UN. Clever those Muslims and Christians of Palestine. LOL

Land Ownership in 1948 The claim is often made that in 1948 a Jewish minority owning only 5 per cent of the land of Palestine made itself master of the Arab majority, which owned 95 per cent of the land. In May 1948 the State of Israel was established in only part of the area allotted by the original League of Nations Mandate. 8.6 per cent of the land was owned by Jews and 3.3 per cent by Israeli Arabs, while 16.9 per cent had been abandoned by Arab owners who imprudently heeded the call from neighbouring countries to "get out of the way" while the invading Arab armies made short shrift of Israel. The rest of the land—over 70 per cent—had been vested in Appendix 2 127 the Mandatory Power, and accordingly reverted to the State of Israel as its legal heir. (Government of Palestine, Survey of Palestine, 1946, British Government Printer, p. 257.) The greater part of this 70 per cent consisted of the Negev, some 3,144,250 acres all told, or close to 50 per cent of the 6,580,000 acres in all of Mandatory Palestine. Known as Crown or State Lands, this was mostly uninhabited arid or semi-arid territory, inherited originally by the Mandatory Government from Turkey. In 1948 it passed to the Government of Israel. These lands had not been owned by Arab farmers—neither under the British Mandate nor under the preceding regime. Thus it is obvious that the contention that 95 per cent of the land—whether of Mandatory Palestine or of the State of Israel—had belonged to Arabs has absolutely no foundation in fact. * * •
There is perhaps no better way of concluding and summing up this study than to quote from an article entitled Is Israel a Thorn or a Flower in the Near East? by Abdul Razak Kader, the Algerian political writer, now living in exile in Paris (Jerusalem Post, Aug. 1, 1969): "The Nationalists of the states neighbouring on Israel, whether they are in the government or in business, whether Palestinian, Syrian or Lebanese, or town dwellers of tribal origin, all know that at the beginning of the century and during the British Mandate the marshy plains and stone hills were sold to the Zionists by their fathers or uncles for gold, the very gold which is often the origin of their own political or commercial careers. The nomadic or seminomadic peasants who inhabited the frontier regions know full well what the green plains, the afforested hills and the flowering fields of today's Israel were like before. "The Palestinians who are today refugees in the neighbouring countries and who were adults at the time of their flight know all this, and no anti-Zionist propaganda—pan-Arab or pan-Moslem— can make them forget that their present nationalist exploiters are the worthy sons of their feudal exploiters of yesterday and that the thorns of their life are of Arab, not Jewish, origin

You are too funny. You use made up propaganda from Zionist or partisan websites that try to contradict the facts based on scientific surveys undertaken by professionals. Why would the UN lie about who owned the land when it was they that were planning to steal the land from the Muslims and Christians to give it to people living in Europe? Think about it. But the UN map is not alone in defining who owned the land. There is the Survey of Palestine vol. 2, undertaken by the Anglo-American Committee on behalf of the UN in 1946.

REPORT TO THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY

"164. The Arab population, despite the strenuous efforts of Jews to acquire land in Palestine, at present remains in possession of approximately 85 per cent of the land. "
A/364 of 3 September 1947
This report, itself, says that all land which was not owned by Jews was categorized as "Arab land". It did not differentiate between land privately owned by Arabs, land not owned but cultivated by Arabs and Crown land. The land was not "in possession of Arabs" but was primarily land belonging to the Crown, which title of sovereignty passed to Israel. It does not, therefore, support your argument -- but actually works against it. You've been informed of this numerous times, by myself and now by Jeremiah.
Propaganda takes some strange twists that go unnoticed by shallow thinkers.
