<KC, are you aware that the lands they were on after the Balfour Declaration (1917) included present-day Israel, all the occupied territories including the West Bank, Gaza and the Golan, and Jordan as well?> What is the definition of "on"? In 1917, the Jews were a tiny minority of the total population of all those areas. Jews were only "on" those lands, in the sense that the fading colonial power (Britain) had made a vague promise to bequeath parts of that land to the up-and-coming colonial power (Israel). By any other definition of "on", the Jews weren't "on" that land. On, is, WMD, sex, programs, so many words, so many creative definitions.
