British government statistics show that in May, 1948, when the State of Israel was established, 8.6 percent of the land was owned by Jews and 3.35 percent by Arab Israelis, while 16.9 percent had been abandoned by Arab owners who fled the country . More than seventy percent of the land was vested in the Mandatory Power and so reverted to Israel as its legal heir."
That would mean that in 1948 Israel owned 8.6% + 70% = 78.6% of Israel in 1948. So these Palestinians have been fighting since 1948 for 16.9% of the land in Israel..... Since Muslims are forbidden to be involved in interest on Money why not just give the palestinians who have deeds to the land the value of the 17% of the land they are fighting over, and have done with it?
