Harland, Whether or not you believe in a lie doesn't make it any less a lie. The so-called "Palestinian" people (Jordanians and other arabs) did not own a single speck of land before 1947. This is a fact, not an opinion.
I can go down to Kinkos and print up a deed in a minute. It would give me the same amount of ownership in land the so-called "Palestinians" had. Also, any deeds issued by the Turkish government when the Ottoman Empire owned things because worthless when the British Empire took ownership of the land. Not that the Ottoman empire issued deeds. As far as I know they considered all land under their control to be owned by the Empire. As for the American Indians, no they didn't own land either, and never had land stolen from them. They didn't even believe in the concept of land ownership. They thought the land owned us, not the other way around. They never had any claim to the land. The Palestinians have as much right to Israel as I have to walk into a BMW dealership and drive off without giving them a penny.
