80% Palestine has been government-owned since Ottoman times, which complicates this discussion. 'The Jews only owned 10%' sounds terrible, but you have to notice that the Arabs only owned about 15%. The rest belonged to the sultan, and passed to British, then Israeli hands

If you want to look at it this way, then consider a time history of what was controlled by Islamic vs Jewish interests. No matter how you dice it, only a very small fraction of what Israel currently controls was purchased. The bulk of Israel was acquited by degree of foreign powers, or acquired as the spoils of war.
