>After all, during the time that Jordan ruled the West Bank, >it was a capitol offense to sell land to Jews

Still true in the PA


Yep.. but of course, there's no "injustice" there, right?

No injustice against Palestinians who are denied the ability to potentially profit from selling their land, should they choose to do so...

Seems to me that when you have to pass a law forbidding your own people from selling land to "strangers", then it's rather hard to claim that any land was "stolen" in the past.

Seems to me what is being "stolen" are the rights of Palestinians to conduct free and fair economic transactions.

But of course, that's an "acceptable injustice".
