For those interested in learning more on the matter, there's long Palestinian document on the transition of land ownership from Arabs to Jews. It should be noted, that according even to Palestinians, before Arab nations went into war to destroy Israel, Jews were actually buying, not stealing the land:


The main feature of the second period, which began soon after the Balfour Declaration of 1917 and extends from 1921 to 1947, is the establishment of Jewish settlements, the Kibbutzim, with the encouragement of such Jewish institutions as the Palestine Jewish Colonization Association,* the Palestine Land Development Company and the Jewish National Fund. The purpose of these three institutions was to transfer the Jewish populations of Europe to Palestine and provide them with facilities, homes, jobs and especially land in the new host country. It has been estimated that by about June 1947, the Jewish minority in Palestine had taken over 1,850,000 dunams** out of a total of 13 million dunams, mainly as a result of transactions between the above-mentioned Jewish institutions and the big Arab landowners of Palestine.3/


Prepared for, and under the guidance of the Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People
