The further you go back in time, the more likely it is that there is no organized centrally managed and enforced land registry, and the "owner" of any land is the person with the biggest militia to enforce that ownership. When a bigger militia comes along, they take that land, and there is a new "owner". So the way that you owned land was by guns, or using whatever weapons you had, to repel others who want to take that land from you. Land ownership remains a huge problem in lots of third world countries as the records and registries are far from clear. Buy some sorta nice land anywhere in the third world on the fringes of development, and voila! Other owners will appear out of the woodwork to dispute your claim.

"The jews were there long before there was any concept of palestinians existed." Maybe. Maybe not. I am thinking it would be a lot of fun to do a little corrective action investigation utilization, DNA. Maybe the Israelis & the Palestinians would not want, but the results being they are 99% match. Kissing cousins were bonking each other? The fly in the ointment.. the Israelis have a higher percentile of Neanderthal DNA than do the Palestinians. science.org Our ancestors likely had sex with Neandertals, but when and where did these encounters take place? The discovery of a 55,000-year-old partial skull of a modern human in an Israeli cave, the first sighting of Homo sapiens in this time and place, offers skeletal evidence to support the idea that Neandertals and moderns mated in the Middle East between 50,000 and 60,000 years ago.
