The history of the property is that it was legally owned by Jews. When Jordan invaded, in 1949, they gave the forcibly removed the Jewish owners, and gave the property to Jordanian landlords. The Jordanians then moved Arabs onto the property and had them pay rent to the Jordanian landlords. When Israel gained control of the land in 1967 they reinstated legal title to the Jews, and allowed the Arabs to remain as long as they paid rent, which they stopped doing. There's been a court case ongoing since, which has involved offers by the Israeli government to compensate the current Arab occupants.
But I guess instead of looking at the actual facts it's easier just to try and shout down the other side with a bunch of ignorant name calling.

I apologize for offending you and possibly hurting your feelings on the matter. I asked the question - without shouting, and using names ??? as far as I know - because I've heard the term used by people I normally consider level headed. They are not pro Palestine, or pro Hamas, or pro Israel for that matter.
Maybe I should not have asked that question in an emotional thread.
I remember following this closely in the late 70s and 80s (as closely as a kid could follow it) but I've long since lost track of who is occupying what and where and which farm/heights/bank belongs or belonged to which group, let alone the different countries that recognized the various annexations. I do believe the UN is under the belief that many of these areas are occupied by Israel with no legal validity. That was from a CNN article from May 12.
