Well then.... I guess that does it right there don't it.
Except that I've read that the Arabs owned about 85 percent of the land in Palestine around the time of Israel's creation, as opposed to less than 10 percent ownership by Jews. So again, we can present all these things as factual, but the point remains that a lot of what we read has been written with a slant built into it.
