Does buying 6% of the land known as Palestine give you more than 6%? Keep in mind, the British wanted to hand the land over to the Arabs,who were the majority culture,until the terrorists aka Menachim Begin, Yitzhak Shamir, Stern gang and Irgun attacked them. So, in essense you are are supporting and rewarding terrorism?

Nice attempt at avoiding the question. Who were the legal owners of the property, is the question. Not who was living on the property. If the landowner sells the deed, or the deed is willed to another, the tenants have no ownership rights. Here was the common mechanism, D: The peasants had been living on common land, which the local effendi had got title to after the land "reform" of 1867. The effendi then made a killing selling the land to the Jews, who found they had to pay off the tenants as well (not to mention the usual bribes to the Turks). The local effendi then improved their political power by stoking resentment of the interlopers who had "pushed" the peasants off the land. Nice work, what?
