I own my house and the property it sits on. My property is also located inside the sovereign territory of the United State. BUT, the US Government does not own my personal property.
Good point. Private ownership of land does not remove that land from the country. It is said that Jews bought land in Palestine. That did not remove that land from Palestine. It was still Palestinian land.
I was born in Pittsburgh PA. I am Appalachian by birth (Allegheny County, PA). My family owns property in Pittsburgh [301,048 (2018)]
But to say all that, doesn't change a thing. Most people in Pittsburgh (the Capital of Appalachia) don't even realize they are Appalachian. And when you ask someone in Pittsburgh where the Capital is, they will chuckle and say ā Harrisburg (the Capital of Pennsylvania). WHY? (RHETORICAL) Because Appalachia is NOT a "state" by itself; it is a territory. This just like the "New England" Territory (Boston is the Capital of both Massachusetts and New England); but, it is not a "state" either. There are advantages to being Appalachian (but let's not get into that). (TRIVIA: Guthrie is the Capital of the Oklahoma Territory.)
Palestine is NOT a "state!" ā At least NOT in the same sense as you use in your comment (supra)...

Trump āsuffers from multiple personality disorder, megalomania, and a racial superiority [complex]ā
The White House = āDubious place in which a global mafia gang dwellsā = āThe Black Houseā
The decision of US President Trump to pardon the four American security contractors who in 2007 killed 14 Iraqis in Baghdad (details below), served a regular columnist for the official PA daily as spring board to smear President Trump. Muwaffaq Matar, who is also a member of the Revolutionary Council of Abbasā Fatah Movement, wrote that Trump is ācloned from the genes of Hitler, Mussolini, and Balfourā and runs a āmafia gangā in what he termed āthe Black House.ā This alleged genetic heritage expresses itself in āmultiple personality disorder, megalomania, and a racial superiority [complex]ā:
āThe White House during the term of [US] President [Donald] Trump has become a dubious place in which a global mafia gang dwells, which views itself as being in a position of ruling the world⦠The only explanation for the announcement issued by Trumpās Black House following his decision to pardon the perpetrators of the massacre [in Iraq in 2007]⦠is that this man not only suffers from multiple personality disorder, megalomania, and a racial superiority [complex], but rather he also constitutes a mix of racism and a bloody colonialist mentality, which is embodied inside a human entity cloned from the genes of [Adolf] Hitler, [Benito] Mussolini, and [former British Foreign Secretary Arthur] Balfour!ā

They were called Palestinians when I was a child... long before arafat.. circa 1950.. In fact, there were 50,000 in Saudi Arabia and many of them went to our church...
Why 'refugees' (I believe you mean pre-refugees or 'refugees to be named a later date' or 'refugees to be named after the Arab armies told the, 'shoo, so we can begin our Jew killing') is certainly relevant.
When you whine about 'their villages', it's important to be accurate and identify that land occupied by Arabs-Moslems was formerly Turkish controlled territory. The Turks released all rights and title to the British Mandatory.
We further know that majority landowners under the Ottoman Turks were absentee landowners from Egypt, Syria and Lebanon.
How do we know this? Well, the Turkish government released Ottoman land records.
The PA had requested the records to support Palestinian land claims prior to British takeover.

Even before 1917, Jewish and Zionist institutions had purchased large tracts of land in Palestine from absentee landlords, who lived mainly in Syria and Lebanon. These landlords had previously leased their property to local farmers, but were happy to sell it for the right price, without giving a thought to their tenant farmers. Nevertheless, Palestinians view these sales as more legitimate than those that took place during the British occupation that began in 1917.
Under Ottoman rule, a substantial portion of the land in Palestine was registered as state land. Some of this land was later sold or transferred to pre-state Jewish institutions. Other portions belonged to the Muslim waqf (religious trust), and these, according to Islamic law, cannot be sold. However, there was no orderly registration process; ownership was determined primarily using records such as tax payments.
The important question you have to answer is: When did the Legal Entity become self-governing?

A negative proof(known classically as appeal to ignorance) is a logical fallacy which takes the structure of: X is true because there is no proof that X is false. In our case your implication is that "Palestine is a Country" because there is no proof it was not a country. You need to stop asking for "negative proof."

Have you emailed Mahmoud Abbas about the international borders you claim exist? He seems to be under the impression that Pallyāland is not a country. Itās one of those annoying inconveniences that countries usually have borders. Maybe an email from you would clear up all the confusion.
