A small fraction of Palestine was purchased by Jews. Much more was simply given to them in the Partition by the British Should the Brits have given back to the Turks? That's who had it before. If you are trying to say that the Brits should have given it to the Arabs and not the Jews, that's just another way of saying that creating an Arab state in Palestine would have been legitimate, but creating a Jewish one was illegitimate, despite (or because of?) the fact that the Jews were interested in having a state and the Arabs weren't.

<In return, they restored the riparian vegetation on all that land, and I now have a very beautiful property. > How much did you pay them to do that? It looks as though you conned the gullible local yokels into enhancing the value of your property without bothering to pay them. Good move!! "In return" for what? Giving them what was rightfully theirs? What a generous thing to do ... giggle. But you didn't even give it to them. You just created a conservation easement which actually prevents them using it for the purposes they might later want. Talk about Indian giver! It still looks like hypocrisy to me. So, Israel could get the Palestinians to enhance the Israeli property and call it an easement and things would be hunky dory. Have they moved in and are living on the banks of "your" river? I guess your easement means they aren't allowed to do that. Good move!! Keep them out, other than to maintain the beauty of your river banks. Mqurice
