And the old excuse 'well there weren't many of them and they really weren't doing much with the land anyway' is a bull#### excuse for Israel and it sure as #### aint working here

In order for it to be "theft", we need to have some sort of bar regarding ownership. I don't think a tiny number of people can setup shop at a river and then declare they own a whole continent. The people who were living off the land in Canada at the time had nothing even remotely resembling what we would consider a nation-state.
Just because someone laid eyes on a patch of land, doesn't mean they own it.
