Jewish Holocaust Expert says Arabs owe billions of dollars to Jews for the Zionist theft of Palestine

The chutzpah of these people. First, they barge into Palestine, murdering, bombing, raping, demolishing and stealing their way to an Eretz Israel, now they demand they be paid for their crimes.

How is this different from a gang of thugs, breaking into your home, raping your wife, shooting your son, kidnapping your daughter and trashing the place out, then demanding that YOU, the victim, pay the gangsters for their time and trouble?

Is the figure given the final figure or will compound interest and the inevitable shakedown tactics of their descendants be added to the alleged cost?

Legally it has merit.

I have yet to see any legal merit for a former tenant to reclaim land/homes he rented prior to being evicted by the new owner.

Ya still don't know, squat

Text of the Charter:
Article 1:
Palestine is the homeland of the Arab Palestinian people; it is an indivisible part of the Arab homeland, and the Palestinian people are an integral part of the Arab nation.
Article 2:
Palestine, with the boundaries it had during the British Mandate, is an indivisible territorial unit.
Article 3:
The Palestinian Arab people possess the legal right to their homeland and have the right to determine their destiny after achieving the liberation of their country in accordance with their wishes and entirely of their own accord and will.
Article 4:
The Palestinian identity is a genuine, essential, and inherent characteristic; it is transmitted from parents to children. The Zionist occupation and the dispersal of the Palestinian Arab people, through the disasters which befell them, do not make them lose their Palestinian identity and their membership in the Palestinian community, nor do they negate them.
Article 5:
The Palestinians are those Arab nationals who, until 1947, normally resided in Palestine regardless of whether they were evicted from it or have stayed there. Anyone born, after that date, of a Palestinian father - whether inside Palestine or outside it - is also a Palestinian.
Article 6:
The Jews who had normally resided in Palestine until the beginning of the Zionist invasion will be considered Palestinians.
Article 7:
That there is a Palestinian community and that it has material, spiritual, and historical connection with Palestine are indisputable facts. It is a national duty to bring up individual Palestinians in an Arab revolutionary manner. All means of information and education must be adopted in order to acquaint the Palestinian with his country in the most profound manner, both spiritual and material, that is possible. He must be prepared for the armed struggle and ready to sacrifice his wealth and his life in order to win back his homeland and bring about its liberation.
Article 8:
The phase in their history, through which the Palestinian people are now living, is that of national (watani) struggle for the liberation of Palestine. Thus the conflicts among the Palestinian national forces are secondary, and should be ended for the sake of the basic conflict that exists between the forces of Zionism and of imperialism on the one hand, and the Palestinian Arab people on the other. On this basis the Palestinian masses, regardless of whether they are residing in the national homeland or in diaspora (mahajir) constitute - both their organizations and the individuals - one national front working for the retrieval of Palestine and its liberation through armed struggle.
Article 9:
Armed struggle is the only way to liberate Palestine. This it is the overall strategy, not merely a tactical phase. The Palestinian Arab people assert their absolute determination and firm resolution to continue their armed struggle and to work for an armed popular revolution for the liberation of their country and their return to it . They also assert their right to normal life in Palestine and to exercise their right to self-determination and sovereignty over it.
Article 10:
Commando action constitutes the nucleus of the Palestinian popular liberation war. This requires its escalation, comprehensiveness, and the mobilization of all the Palestinian popular and educational efforts and their organization and involvement in the armed Palestinian revolution. It also requires the achieving of unity for the national (watani) struggle among the different groupings of the Palestinian people, and between the Palestinian people and the Arab masses, so as to secure the continuation of the revolution, its escalation, and victory.
Article 11:
The Palestinians will have three mottoes: national (wataniyya) unity, national (qawmiyya) mobilization, and liberation.
Article 12:
The Palestinian people believe in Arab unity. In order to contribute their share toward the attainment of that objective, however, they must, at the present stage of their struggle, safeguard their Palestinian identity and develop their consciousness of that identity, and oppose any plan that may dissolve or impair it.
Article 13:
Arab unity and the liberation of Palestine are two complementary objectives, the attainment of either of which facilitates the attainment of the other. Thus, Arab unity leads to the liberation of Palestine, the liberation of Palestine leads to Arab unity; and work toward the realization of one objective proceeds side by side with work toward the realization of the other.
Article 14:
The destiny of the Arab nation, and indeed Arab existence itself, depend upon the destiny of the Palestine cause. From this interdependence springs the Arab nation's pursuit of, and striving for, the liberation of Palestine. The people of Palestine play the role of the vanguard in the realization of this sacred (qawmi) goal.
Article 15:
The liberation of Palestine, from an Arab viewpoint, is a national (qawmi) duty and it attempts to repel the Zionist and imperialist aggression against the Arab homeland, and aims at the elimination of Zionism in Palestine. Absolute responsibility for this falls upon the Arab nation - peoples and governments - with the Arab people of Palestine in the vanguard. Accordingly, the Arab nation must mobilize all its military, human, moral, and spiritual capabilities to participate actively with the Palestinian people in the liberation of Palestine. It must, particularly in the phase of the armed Palestinian revolution, offer and furnish the Palestinian people with all possible help, and material and human support, and make available to them the means and opportunities that will enable them to continue to carry out their leading role in the armed revolution, until they liberate their homeland.
Article 16:
The liberation of Palestine, from a spiritual point of view, will provide the Holy Land with an atmosphere of safety and tranquility, which in turn will safeguard the country's religious sanctuaries and guarantee freedom of worship and of visit to all, without discrimination of race, color, language, or religion. Accordingly, the people of Palestine look to all spiritual forces in the world for support.
Article 17:
The liberation of Palestine, from a human point of view, will restore to the Palestinian individual his dignity, pride, and freedom. Accordingly the Palestinian Arab people look forward to the support of all those who believe in the dignity of man and his freedom in the world.
Article 18:
The liberation of Palestine, from an international point of view, is a defensive action necessitated by the demands of self-defense. Accordingly the Palestinian people, desirous as they are of the friendship of all people, look to freedom-loving, and peace-loving states for support in order to restore their legitimate rights in Palestine, to re-establish peace and security in the country, and to enable its people to exercise national sovereignty and freedom.
Article 19:
The partition of Palestine in 1947 and the establishment of the state of Israel are entirely illegal, regardless of the passage of time, because they were contrary to the will of the Palestinian people and to their natural right in their homeland, and inconsistent with the principles embodied in the Charter of the United Nations; particularly the right to self-determination.
Article 20:
The Balfour Declaration, the Mandate for Palestine, and everything that has been based upon them, are deemed null and void. Claims of historical or religious ties of Jews with Palestine are incompatible with the facts of history and the true conception of what constitutes statehood. Judaism, being a religion, is not an independent nationality. Nor do Jews constitute a single nation with an identity of its own; they are citizens of the states to which they belong.
Article 21:
The Arab Palestinian people, expressing themselves by the armed Palestinian revolution, reject all solutions which are substitutes for the total liberation of Palestine and reject all proposals aiming at the liquidation of the Palestinian problem, or its internationalization.
Article 22:
Zionism is a political movement organically associated with international imperialism and antagonistic to all action for liberation and to progressive movements in the world. It is racist and fanatic in its nature, aggressive, expansionist, and colonial in its aims, and fascist in its methods. Israel is the instrument of the Zionist movement, and geographical base for world imperialism placed strategically in the midst of the Arab homeland to combat the hopes of the Arab nation for liberation, unity, and progress. Israel is a constant source of threat vis-a-vis peace in the Middle East and the whole world. Since the liberation of Palestine will destroy the Zionist and imperialist presence and will contribute to the establishment of peace in the Middle East, the Palestinian people look for the support of all the progressive and peaceful forces and urge them all, irrespective of their affiliations and beliefs, to offer the Palestinian people all aid and support in their just struggle for the liberation of their homeland.
Article 23:
The demand of security and peace, as well as the demand of right and justice, require all states to consider Zionism an illegitimate movement, to outlaw its existence, and to ban its operations, in order that friendly relations among peoples may be preserved, and the loyalty of citizens to their respective homelands safeguarded.
Article 24:
The Palestinian people believe in the principles of justice, freedom, sovereignty, self-determination, human dignity, and in the right of all peoples to exercise them.
Article 25:
For the realization of the goals of this Charter and its principles, the Palestine Liberation Organization will perform its role in the liberation of Palestine in accordance with the Constitution of this Organization.
Article 26:
The Palestine Liberation Organization, representative of the Palestinian revolutionary forces, is responsible for the Palestinian Arab people's movement in its struggle - to retrieve its homeland, liberate and return to it and exercise the right to self-determination in it - in all military, political, and financial fields and also for whatever may be required by the Palestine case on the inter-Arab and international levels.
Article 27:
The Palestine Liberation Organization shall cooperate with all Arab states, each according to its potentialities; and will adopt a neutral policy among them in the light of the requirements of the war of liberation; and on this basis it shall not interfere in the internal affairs of any Arab state.
Article 28:
The Palestinian Arab people assert the genuineness and independence of their national (wataniyya) revolution and reject all forms of intervention, trusteeship, and subordination.
Article 29:
The Palestinian people possess the fundamental and genuine legal right to liberate and retrieve their homeland. The Palestinian people determine their attitude toward all states and forces on the basis of the stands they adopt vis-a-vis to the Palestinian revolution to fulfill the aims of the Palestinian people.
Article 30:
Fighters and carriers of arms in the war of liberation are the nucleus of the popular army which will be the protective force for the gains of the Palestinian Arab people.
Article 31:
The Organization shall have a flag, an oath of allegiance, and an anthem. All this shall be decided upon in accordance with a special regulation.
Article 32:
Regulations, which shall be known as the Constitution of the Palestinian Liberation Organization, shall be annexed to this Charter. It will lay down the manner in which the Organization, and its organs and institutions, shall be constituted; the respective competence of each; and the requirements of its obligation under the Charter.
Article 33:
This Charter shall not be amended save by [vote of] a majority of two-thirds of the total membership of the National Congress of the Palestine Liberation Organization [taken] at a special session convened for that purpose.

Who, then, has the legal right to Palestine?
From "The Land of Canaan," by Ilene Beatty, reprinted in From Haven To Conquest, Khalidi, Walid, ed., Washington: Institute for Palestine Studies, 1987.

...Who, then, has the legal right to Palestine?

There is one people, almost unmentioned, ignored, and practically forgotten. But they must be named and considered, for they are the most important of all--the native Palestinians themselves.

So far as history knows, they originated in the Canaanites who were the first occupants of the land, the original settlers. When any of the conquerors of the crossroads took prisoners in ancient times, they took them from the cities they besieged and captured. They did not take the time and trouble to go out into the remote valleys and ferret out the inhabitants one by one. So we may be sure that from the beginning, the settled population in the rural districts and small villages remained the same. We may be equally sure that the original stock--the ancient Canaanites--remained where they were, and their descendants did likewise.

It is true that they received an admixture of blood from each of the invaders, especially from the Egyptians, who were the rulers so often and so long. The Hyskos, the Hittites, and the Amorites, as well as the ancient Assyrians and Babylonians must have added their quotas. There must be, even today, some heritage from the feather-crowned Philistines, who settled in such numbers as to give the land their name.

Posting Arab spin doesn't make it.

In my conversations with palestinians, when the subject of Jewish imigrants purchasing land and then evicted the tenants arises their roesponse is: "See See that's how the Jews stole our land."

If you purchase property and there is a tenent....you own it not the guy who never did.

And then as far as "right to return" would Algeria, Jordan, etc extend that right to the Jews they exiled? Would the arabs extend that "right to return" to Jews and restore the property they had [u]legally owned not rented[/]?

Best you be taking this up with the folks you are slogging at Yale law school. unless that is you have superior knowledge and so far there are no signs of that

Talking trash don't cut it either
You still know squat

Until you are able to support your claims with something other than ignorance stay away.

Disputing Arab policy is a sign of ignorance or is supporting it?

Sophistry about speculated survivors of the Amalikites and Philistines has less merit than GW.

Just a thought.

Aren't we talking about Israel, and by extension, Israelis, here, rather than 'Jews'? Not necessarily true that an 'Israeli' who evicts anyone is a 'Jew', as it could as well be me if I happened to relocate to Israel.

21Nov06
According to international law all Israeli settlements in the West Bank are illegal, but (prepare to be shocked) the Israeli group Peace Now has said that according to a leaked 2004 survey by the Civil Administration, as much as 40% of those settlements are built on Arab land and are thus “effectively stolen” from Palestinian land owners. The Civil Administration manages the civilian aspects of Israel’s occupation of the West Bank, settling nearly half a million Israelis on these lands. Peace Now says the data has been “hidden by the State for many years, for fear that the revelation of these facts could damage its international relations“. These settlements not only contradict international law but Israel’s own laws.

"Jehoshua ben Hananiah said: ‘I was never disconcerted in my life
except by a woman, a boy, and a little girl….Once I was traveling
on a road and seeing a beaten path leading across a meadow I
took that path. Said a little girl to me: ‘Rabbi! Is this not a meadow
that thou art crossing?’ And I answered: ‘Is this not a beaten
path?’ And she answered: ‘Yea; such robbers as thou art have
made it a beaten path.’”
Bab. Talmud, Erubin pp. 53 b

Executive Summary
Peace Now’s Settlement Watch team has compiled precise information
regarding the legal status of the land on which Israeli settlements have
been constructed in the West Bank over the last four decades. The data,
which is compiled and made public here for the first time, has
enormous significance. It indicates the direct violation of Israeli law
carried out by the State itself, driven by the architects and leaders of the
settlement movement.
Israel never annexed the territories in the West Bank conquered in the
war of June 1967, leaving the status of this land as "spoils of war".
During the past forty years of occupation, Israel has ruled the territories
through military orders and the laws of the State. In so doing, Israel has
ignored international laws and agreements, such as the 4th Geneva
Accords and the Hague Agreement, which define and limit changes the
occupier may make in occupied territory during the period of
occupation.
This report demonstrates that, in addition to ignoring international laws
and agreements, Israel has violated even its own norms and laws in the
West Bank, through the confiscation of private Palestinian property and
the building of settlements upon them.
Data which its source is the Civil Administration, applied to each and
every settlement by the Peace Now Settlement Watch team, indicate
that a large proportion of the settlements built on the West Bank are
built on privately owned Palestinian land. This, despite the fact that
Israeli law guarantees the protection of the private property of the civil
population resident on the West Bank.
The data presented in this report demonstrate that the property rights of
many Palestinians have been systematically violated in the course of
settlement building. The government's own information confirms this
contravention of Israeli law - law, defined precisely in the landmark
4
Elon More decision of the Israeli High Court of Justice in 1979
(discussed in detail, below).
Peace Now condemns the violation of Israeli law carried out over
the past forty years by the State of Israel. We condemn the efforts
of politicians and bureaucrats to launder the land grab, which
deprived thousands of Palestinians of the basic human right of
possession, on the individual and collective levels.
We demand that the present Israeli Government rectify the
situation, which means returning the private land to its owners.
Key findings include:
> Palestinians privately own nearly 40% of the land on which
the settlements have been built;
> Palestinians privately own over 40% of the land in
settlements located in "settlement blocs," west of the fence
being constructed by Israel, including 86.4% of Ma’ale
Adumim, 44.3% of Giv'at Ze'ev, 47.7% of Kedumim, and
35.1% of Ariel;
> More than 3,400 buildings in settlements are constructed on
land that is privately owned by Palestinians;
> “Survey lands” are areas whose ownership has yet to be
determined and on which development is not legal, yet 5.7%
of settlement territory is “survey land” and 2.5% of the
“settlement blocs” are on “survey lands;”
> Only a small percentage of settlement land was purchased by
Jews; and
> Over 50% of the land on which settlements have been
constructed has been declared “State land,” often through
controversial means and mostly for the benefit of settlements.
Ya see, squat, you argue from emotional ignorance and due to lax speech customs, not free speech laws you are able to "get away with it", that is untill you have been "called" on it.

And the land throughout the ME which was effectively stolen from jewish refugees when they had to flee for their lives after the arab's failure to "drive the Isreali's into the sea."

What would the followers of the religion of peace done to the Israeli's if the had been victorious in 1948, 1956, 1967, 1973......Exactely what they announced----"kill them all."

I challenged a Palestinian new Canadian about the homemade rockets----his reply---"they are just trying to scare them..." I asked if the Isreali 155's scared them----he protested about the death toll. He had no answer to---"if you stopped trying "to scare them" they would stop killing you."

His father proudly showed me the key to the house---he left behind---that after a bit of prompting he finally admitted that he was renting---until a Jew bought it in the 40's.
"SEE... SEE... That's how the Jews steal our land-----they buy it!" With a straight face.....
