FACTS Many supporting the false narrative that Jews / Zionists stole Palestinian land may wish to read The Land Question in Palestine by Kenneth W. Stein . Through diligent and meticulously researching and identifying land transfer documentation from a number of historical legal , and thankfully still maintained sources , Arab , Jew , Palestinian , Zionist and British , Stein has listed numerous land sales from Arabs to Jews prior to the re-establishment of the State of Israel in 1948. To a political researcher such as myself it is unsurprising how many Arabs yelled foul at the false narrative of a Zionist land grab whilst duplicitously selling at overinflated prices to those very same Zionists they were accusing of land theft . Both Churchill in several speeches and the Arabs themselves in recorded testimony under oath to various commissions notably the Hope Simpson and Peel Commissions stated that no Arab Palestinian land had been stolen but all legally acquired. As just one glaring example appendix 3 of the book which exposes numerous such legally documented land sales is as follows. Name of seller - Abu Hantash Abd al - Latif Position / status / short biography - Village shaykh at Qaqun ; participated in attacks on Jews at the Hadera massacre in 1921 ; helped to organise the Farmers Party in 1924 and organised opposition to Jewish purchase of Wadi Qabbani in the 1930’s. Land sales - sold 821 dunams at Qaqun in 1925 for £P 2,564 in the Tulkarm sub district . ( one dunam is 0.247 acres ) Name of seller - Basiso Khalil Yusuf Position / status - Member of the Arab Executive, elected to 7th Gaza Congress Land sales - April 1942 sold 472 dunams to the Jewish National Fund in Gaza for £P 1200.00 ( ref ISA , box 3874/ file 7 Schedule for April 1942) Second update Listed at the end of the post , the lands sold by the Sarsouk family ( from Lebanon I believe) to Zionist organisations alluded to by the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem under oath to Sir Laurie Hammond during the 1937 Peel Commission enquiry.
