> Israelis. Palestine was relatively barren until they arrived with the money and knowledge to really irrigate it.

As explained before, this is nothing but Zionist propaganda garbage - the "We made the desert bloom!" claim is just a myth - and the statistics of the agricultural output of Palestine before the Zionist onslaught disagree with your version of the story. Palestine was a major Middle Eastern exporter of wheat, barley, maize, sesame, olives, cotton, and oranges -- including the famous Jaffa Orange, which Israel later hijacked and claimed as another "Zionist miracle".

Even shortly before the establishment of Israel, the Agricultural Output of Palestine was overwhelmingly coming from Palestinian owned lands and farmers, as was documented in the Anglo-American Survey of Palestine. You can see a copy of the relevant statistics on this site.

Barren? That's the most ridiculous, yet most pervasive of Zionist propaganda: "We made the desert bloom"!.

Unfortunately for you guys, the statistics of agricultural output of Palestine before the Zionist onslaught, the memory of the People that you ethnically cleansed, and the present (this is a picture outside my grandma's house in Jenin) all disagree with your version of the story. Palestine was a major Middle Eastern exporter of wheat, barley, maize, sesame, olives, cotton, and oranges -- including the famous Jaffa Orange, which Israel later hijacked and claimed as another "Zionist miracle".

Even shortly before the establishment of Israel, the Agricultural Output of Palestine was overwhelmingly coming from Palestinian owned lands and farmers, as was documented in the Anglo-American Survey of Palestine. You can see a copy of the relevant statistics on this site.

Last, it is painfully obvious that your primary source of information about Palestine/Israel is Hasbara and Zionist Propaganda material. Try to widen your sources, read more into the conflict and history from different and diverse sources, so you don't sound like such an ignorant when trying to present your opinion. Take this as a brotherly advice.

> This is factually incorrect.

Jewish land ownership in 1947 amounted to, at most, 7%. This is backed up by the JNF and PICA (Palestine Jewish Colonisation Association). This is also backed up by the Anglo-American Committee of Inquiry (you can buy the full report here or you can view it page by page here. )

Palestinian Arab land ownership is stated as being 85% from the United Nations Special Committee on Palestine (the people who made the Partition Plan), which states:

"164. The Arab population, despite the strenuous efforts of Jews to acquire land in Palestine, at present remains in possession of approximately 85 per cent of the land. The provisions of the land transfer regulations of 1940, which gave effect to the 1939 White Paper policy, have severely restricted the Jewish efforts to acquire new land."

So, on what basis do you have claim to land which is already possessed by Palestinians? Remember, it's the Zionist Jews demanding the land in 1945-1948. If you demand it, you need to come up with the proof.

> We're talking about the region on a national level, not individual properties. Not sure why you're bringing this off topic stuff up.

Because we all know that it wasn't a country - it was a region. Palestine references the people in the region, hence why there were Palestinian Jews before. It was Palestinian municipalities with Palestinian mayors, and private ownership. First, of all, it bears emphasising that just because land is “public” under municipalities governance does not mean that therefore it is something the British/Ottoman theoretically have the right to give over to Jewish immigrants, particularly if the land is surrounded by private property owned by Arabs. Especially when the vast majority of the population in the region were Palestinian Arabs. Public land belongs to a city/region, where the majority of people were Arab and the majority of land owned by Arabs, is considered possessed by Arabs. Certainly by any libertarian conception of public spaces, and so certainly by any layman.

> Any examples of them doing that? Not sure what you're talking about.

"We deserve a safe heaven for Jews. We're prosecuted everywhere else."
"We demand the right of Jewish national self-determination."
"G-d gave it to us."
"We lived here 2000 years ago."
"We're ethnically from the Middle East."

Heck, you tell me the reason for why Israel should have been established on land already possessed by Palestinians.

The site is simply hosting the survey. That one is some 40 years older than the Internet. If you don't like it from there, feel free to buy it in Amazon.

It's a survey carried out by Great Britain and the United States at the time of the British Mandate. The website is simply hosting it (if you don't like it reading from pro-Palestinian sites, you can get it here, for a price). The survey debunks one by one the allegations of "illegal immigration" that Israel's apologists keep using to our days to claim Palestinians' "foreign origin", as you are currently trying to do (without much success, I would say).

I see where you are coming from, but this isn't the full story. The statistics of agricultural output of Palestine before the massive waves of Jewish immigration in the early 1900s disagree with your version of the story. Palestine was a major Middle Eastern exporter of wheat, barley, maize, sesame, olives, cotton, and oranges -- including the famous Jaffa Orange, which Israel later hijacked and claimed as another "Zionist miracle".

Even shortly before the establishment of Israel, the Agricultural Output of Palestine was overwhelmingly coming from Palestinian owned lands and farmers, as was documented in the Anglo-American Survey of Palestine. You can see a copy of the relevant statistics on this site.

Read what exactly? You didn't provide any link to back your claim of T.E. Lawrence, nor anything close to a proper citation to allow others to track down the source of those claims. As for my source, it's actually the British Mandate records I cited, and you can buy a copy of on Amazon or likely get your local library to find you one, but the Palestinian website provides easy access to photocopies of that documentation. So where exactly can one find anything close to a respectable source for your claims, on an Israeli website or otherwise?
