The bitter irony of this anti-settlement narrative is that, starting in the late 1800s, Zionists bought quite a bit of land in Judea/Samaria (a/k/a the West Bank), and had a strong presence in eastern Jerusalem (known then simply as "Jerusalem").  In 1948, Jordan captured this land and ethnically cleansed every Jew.  Jordan's king parceled out Jewish land to Arabs. 19 years later, Israel recaptured its land.  Somewhere along the way, all this stolen Jewish land was designated "occupied territory," despite the fact that many of the Arabs living there were actually squatting on property from which Jews had been ethnically cleansed!  This is not my opinion; it is documented facts.  So when you hear the mantra of "stolen Palestinian land," ad nauseam, please remember that the opposite is true, and don't be taken in by Arab propaganda/revisionism.
