If you want to look at it this way, then consider a time history of what was controlled by Islamic vs Jewish interests. No matter how you dice it, only a very small fraction of what Israel currently controls was purchased. The bulk of Israel was acquited by degree of foreign powers, or acquired as the spoils of war.

The last sentence applies to every square inch of the former Ottoman empire, as far as I can see.

Furthermore, the map claimed to be of Mandatory Palestine, so the government controlled land was in the hands of the British Empire, not an Islamic interest at all.
