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?

Remember, too, at the start of the 1948 war, there were more Arabs than Jews. The Arabs fled before the Arab nations attacked Israel. All that property owned by those Arabs was confiscated by Israel. After the war, those Arabs were not allowed back into Israel. To this day, Israel has made no attempt to provide these people reparations for their property, most of whom landed in refugee camps. Its this kind of dirty dealing that Israeli supporters here in this country work very hard to ignore but the Palestinians have a hard time forgetting.
