But history shows otherwise -it was Jewish lands, the Jews bought the land in 1927 when it was just sand and rocks(*), and then got attacked and expelled by arabs.
Summary :
1. Group of Jews bought land which is just sand and rocks in 1927. Two years later the got expelled by arabs.
2. In the early 1930 they bought the land again and rebuilt it the land. Couple of years later they were executed by arabs.
3. in 1943 they returned again and rebuilt the land. Couple of years later got expelled and muredered.
4. Then after the 1967 war they return to the land they bought and got expelled many times before.It was their land.
Jews owned less than 8% of the land when the Partition Plan was agreed. When it comes to who has been ripped off from owning and haning on to land the Palestinians massively out do Jews. All of your dates precede the 48-49 war and so have no relevance in the territorial makeup after it. After the war Israel owned 78% of the partition plan territory. After that war Plastine was both occupied by Jordan and under Egyptian administration. Any Jewish claims to land in what didn't become Israel died along with those of the Palestinians. To try to peddle this junk is ridiculous. Everything built by Israel in territory not part of the Israeli state is illegal, end of.
you talking about stage 2, and even if I agree with your ridiculous claim, the Jews already bought the land in 1927.
So you wrong.
I was talking about that stage because that was the context being discussed before you shifted the goal posts. Regardless, ALL Israeli settlements built in the OPTs ,along with the Golan and at the time, the Sinai aree/were illegal. So, no, I'm not wrong.
Everything else in your post was based on the false presumption of ownership. The settlements are illegal. The Israeli govt advisors said so at the time but the annexation process continued with the full knowledge that it was and remains illegal
