technically israeli land because they won it in a defensive war and the other side didnt want it back, but sure it belongs to the arab people who live there. Let them have it with a little tweaking that reflects reality on the ground with compensation in land and/or money for any net loss of land. But of course the pals aleady rejected this solution when barak was PM.

My understanding is that a lot of the land that forms Israel today was bought from absentee arab owners, while palestinians who had been unrecorded "owners" and who had been living on it and considered it theirs were being dispossessed and moved off by the zionist movement. It's unlikely these people will forget who replaced them on this land, despite the fact that the 1858 Ottoman land decrees had quietly deprived them of legal ownership.

Am I understanding this correctly?
