On the other hand:
Turkey transfers Ottoman land records to Palestinian Authority
Even before 1917, Jewish and Zionist institutions had purchased large tracts of land in Palestine from absentee landlords, who lived mainly in Syria and Lebanon. These landlords had previously leased their property to local farmers, but were happy to sell it for the right price, without giving a thought to their tenant farmers. Nevertheless, Palestinians view these sales as more legitimate than those that took place during the British occupation that began in 1917
Well done, Hollie, you've proved Montelatici's point. Thanks, there may be hope for you yet.
You should try paying attention. I understand that cognitive skills elude you but the data available clearly delineates large land purchases by Jewish buyers from absentee land owners in Egypt, Syria and Lebanon. We also know that large tracts of land were held as a waqf by the Ottoman Turks.
Alas, I'm afraid there's no hope for you limited types.
*Sigh* Please start taking your own advice and think before you post. Ask yourself what does "large" mean; the term has no meaning unless it's attached to hard corroborative data. An ant might see a mouse as "large" but to a human, both are tiny. The only hard data we have is that provided by the British survey, however imperfect. Had Zionist land purchases been so "large" as to be significant, there would have been a stream of Zionist landowners (or the JNF) producing bills of sale to quantify the area of land they actualy bought as opposed to stole.
You are quite right Hollie, as a "limited type" yourself, there is no hope for you it seems.
You poor, dear. I understand you're enraged that the Ottoman land records refute your biased opinions. You limited types do tend to get befuddled by the hard data but don't let that prevent you from making up your own version of history as it suits you.
Your are quite right, as you exceed your limits, you tend to get more frantic .
So you can provide a link to these Ottoman land records that refute the British Survey of Palestine data?
Refute what? That the Ottoman's controlled the majority of the land area? I never attempted to refute that.
As you parrot the slogan that Jooos "stole the land", I'm assuming you can post corroborative data to support your specious comment.
