“A lot of that land was personally owned by Jews who bought it from the Ottomans who owned it in the 1800s. They were forced out by the Jordanian government back in 1948.”

As for “a lot”, Jews in the modern era always faced much resistance in acquiring land in Palestine. It is my understanding that Jews were only able to acquire prior to the end of the Mandate about 20% of the higher quality land.

Feel free to describe by links or direct listing any properties lawfully acquired by Jews prior to 1967 that were unjustly taken under Jordanian power.

As a conservative, I value fairness, honesty and facts.

Then you should stop referring to the Arabs in Gaza as "Palestinians".

That last sentence is a money shot

Often ignored here in favor of sound and fury

You’ll likely now be called Jew hater no matter how much you support Israel

For Dispies it’s never enough trust me

You do know how to read don't you?

That was BEFORE the British ran the place.

No, little dim, you don't.
