Zonder, some of the land wasn't even inhabited. Some of the land was loosely inhabited by several tribes with simultaneous and dubious claim. Some of it was taken by force, and even by unscrupulous methods, as you describe. Some of it was taken by reasonable methods as described in CB's post. No one suggested it was 100% A/B one way or the other. And not very much of it is representative of the Palestinian issue. Cat-fights over every single time-tick detail of world history aren't necessarily ... necessary.

So how 'bout Africa. I'll give Ghaddafi 12.5 points in Somalia pre-Saddam-bailout. Over/under is running about 42.
