The Associated Press: Shady land deal unfolds from West Bank to California strip mall
Talkback
Title:Jewish purcharsers were ripped off since 1878
Name:Jake
City: State:
buying land from Arab landowners, mostly absentee, at several times their value.

Robbery is what happened to the property of Jews - homes, schools, fields, country clubs, etc. etc. etc. - in Arab lands. The media made it a point to skirt that issue like the plague.

On top that, we now have a dodgy hypothesis proffered by "The Associated Press", known for its falsfication of matters relating to Israel. Haaretz, can`t you do your own dirty work?
