Excuse me?? Now we're talking about the land being bought from non-Palestinian absentee landlords?? So no Palestinians sold any land to the Jews?? Is this because they had no title or deed to that land?? Doesn't seem to me that you're succeeding very well in making the case of 1,500 years of established Palestinian identity in the region. Seems to me the Palestinians either sold their land, or it was taken from them by every ruling entity that they could defend against. Or could it be that the Palestinians are actually the people who took that land from former residents just as you falsely accuse the Jews of doing. After all, an Indian sold Manhattan Island to the Dutch for $24 in beads, and I can only imagine how difficult it would be for the descendants of that tribe to make a claim against the English owners who took it from the Dutch. Can't you do better than that? Hawk
