Gersh most of the land there was parceled out by the Ottoman Empire. The right of the land there is similar to the right of the land in the US, Canada or rest of the Americas. Most of it was bought by Jewish funds since the mid 19th hundred, true for pennies by today standards but so was Manhattan for bought for the equivalent of $25 or so. Still that does not make Manhattan the property of the Mohicans. In general after W.W.II the French and British divided the ME inventing new states and giving families right over vast parts of land Jordan Iraq the Emirates Kuwait Lebanon, Syria were all artificially divided and given to scions of rich families. Algiers, Tunisia Libya, Egypt Sudan etc. fall under the same criteria. Armenians and Kurds were completely ignored or slaughtered as many other minorities of which we do not hear today. Similar situation are all over the world and a distinction should be made between state and citizen. Haim
