Possibly no subject is the last 150 years has been as contentious as the ownership of land in Palestine.
The first approach taken was the slogan : "a land without people for a people without land".
A similar approach was undertaken by british colonial settlers who designated australia terra nullius
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terra_nullius
when Palestinian resistance to the taking of their land occurred the argument changed.
Now it was said or inferred Palestinians had never owned any land. They were just itinerant workers who came from egypt.
I would be interested in an informed discussion on this topic, as I have done much research on this topic.
