CB, The original Zionists during the Ottoman period and later during the British Mandate may have acquired property in Palestine in an entirely legal manner, strictly speaking, but that doesn't mean that they did it fairly and they surely knew from the very beginning that they were creating a tremendous problem that would never be resolved. These traditional Muslim places had a primitive system of land ownership which resulted in lots of absentee owners and situations where a family might occupy a farm or homestead generation after generation literally for hundreds of years without actually owning the property or even paying any rent. Just like the Koranic stricture against usury there were dictates about land tenure and the idea that the family homestead might all of a sudden become the property of an outsider was something that had never happened before. You have a very similar pattern in the southern Philippines and land grabbing by the Christians is the root cause of the troubles between Muslim and Christian even today, and there are no Zionists there at all. 100 years ago at the beginning of the American occupation Mindanao was entirely Muslim and indeed it had never been surveyed or platted in any way, even though the Spanish had surveyed and platted every square inch of the rest of the country long before. By 1915 Gen. Leonard Wood had finally forced the last Muslim warlord in Mindanao to capitulate and after that there was some attempt to reconcile things like land title on the island in a legal manner. But after we left in 1935 things pretty much went back to the tribal land tenure that existed during the Spanish period. The way it worked there was that a whole region would be "owned" by a local notary sometimes called a "Datu". If the Datu was a good steward of his community everything worked fine. But if the Datu was a reckless spendthrift maybe he might sell out some of the community property to some land barron up in Manila. In this manner whole villages lost their family homes. Something similar was at work in Palestine. Slagle
