If you mean country in the sense of "countryside", or in the sense of an area of terrain, than the statement is no different than "Would you sell your land?"

But thanks for bringing it back towards the issue in your second paragraph ... which ends pretty weak imho, you understand how the indigenous would 'feel' violated ... kind of indicates it's all about their feelings, nothing to do with their inherent right to the status of human beings ...

I use feel not to assert that they were not actually violated, but to avoid directly asserting that they where. Probably some of them where, and others may have felt that way without having their rights violated in any serious way. The question is a little more complex than a simple presentation of the Palestinians as unmitigated victims of the Israelis would imply.
