You do not recognize the deed. fair enough, thus nullify any deeds that the Ottomans granted the Zionists. Right? Technically.. yes. After all, your Palestinian friends wouldn't recognize THOSE titles and deeds as being valid because they would claim that the Turks didn't have the right to grant, or sell, that land to the Jews, right? Base on your premise, every time we elect a new government, I lose my house and my land? Geez, why the hell I pay taxes for. I don't think you can assert that the conquest and occupation of an empire is tantamount to an "election". The conquered subjects of the former Turkish empire certainly vote to get conquered, especially those who died while serving in the Turkish military. And they certainly didn't get much of a vote in who the British and French placed in power to govern them them (look at the Jordanians and pre-1958 Iraqis). Welcome to reality.. Certainly the reality of a pre-1949 GCCC world where empires conquered empires and divided the spoils as they saw fit. In fact, had it not been for the US and it's on-going policies of de-colonization, it's likely the Arab world would STILL be ruled by the British and French. That's something most of your ilk never give the US credit for. Remember.. this was all PRIOR to the Fourth Geneva Convention. Geez, that makes right to steal, right? Pretty much.. After all, that's how it worked for the Arabs that STOLE the land from the Byzantines, who stole it from the Romans, who stole it from the Jews. Who are you talking about? The Hashimites? or the Palestinians? Read my post again and let me know. Why don't you tell us? After all, in the post-1948 world all "Palestinians" living in the West Bank were Jordanian subjects.
