Congress has been informally notified about the pending deal, most of which is to be paid for with foreign military financing — in which U.S. taxpayer dollars are given to Israel to turn around and buy the weapons from the United States.

    For 1200 years under the Ottomans, the Ottomans owned everything, and the local inhabitants were simply allowed to reside on the land

    Theft of Land? Where did the gold they paid go? Did it vanish, carried away by Jinn? Or did it vanish into the pockets of Muslims, including the upper levels of the society of Palestinian Arabs?

      This looks like you are replying to yourself, I am not sure which point you are referencing. According to your article, the colonising Jews only ever bought and owned 6% of the land in Palestine, the remaining 49% was what they stole.

      If you read the article you linked on the sursock purchases you would be aware that these large purchases were bought from absentee landlords who were the Lebanese greek orthodox Christian Sursock family. I mean, it’s right there in the first paragraph.

        There were other sales, other purchases. Obviously.

        The example I cite is representative of a larger trend. It is not my job to compile an exhaustive list for the sake of arguing with you. The readers of this thread can follow the trail of that documented and factual historical event to wherever it leads them.

        Your nitpicking smells of desperation and dishonors you and the cause you espouse in the eyes or ordinary right-thinking individuals.
