116. I think you misunderstand me
My point was....That you seem to decry the purchase of land by Jews as illegitimate because it was done under the occupying power's rules - but defining the power in question (when purchases began, at least) as "occupying" is rather a stretch.

You misunderstand me....I really have no strong opinion on the purchase of land by Jews....If you go back to my Post 23, you will see that I was claiming that the massive Zionist “immigrant invasion” planned and carried out by Zionist leaders over a period of time was far more immoral than the acts of violence carried out in 1920 by individual Palestinians in the heat of strong anti-Zionist feelings.....There would have been no violence, no conflict if the Zionists had not connived with the British to disenfranchise the local Palestinians.....That was a terrible thing to do to a poor, backward, innocent people under what was effectively a military occupation.
