Gosh.. I guess that means that Saudi Arabia and Iran already paid up the Palestinians.
ROFLOL, you wish. It is us the American taxpayers that will end up paying.

First off.. the proper spelling is PAID, not "payed".
Geez, I really hit a nerve. carry on.

Secondly, the EUROPEANS, namely Britain and France, divided up ALL OF THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE, not just Palestine.
Hmm, so no one get evicted, everyone settled where there were. Right?

If Ottoman "property deeds" were honored as valid, it would definitely reshaped the entire Middle East.
Maybe there will be peace at last.

Technically speaking, if the Ottomans had been defeated AFTER the signing of the GCCC of 1949, all that conquered territory would have had to be returned to them at the end of hostilities.
Hmm, as I recall, the Arabs helped defeating the Ottomans, no? The allies never delivered on their promises no? Bottom line, why should the Palestinians pay for the European's guilt.
