I can tell you who I think owns Israel as my Great Grandfather who lived in Missouri purchased land in Israel in 1926 from a company that was helping set up farming communities there. There was a company called AMERICAN ZION COMMONWEALTH, INC that sold land to American Jews beginning in 1926 in an area that is now called Afula, Israel. This land was purchased from its then owners who were Jordanians by American Zion Commonwealth. They did not steal the land from the Arab’s. In fact the British called the area Palestine.

The Jews did not steal from the Arab’s. Look at Israel and compare that small nation to the rest of the Arab world. Its like comparing the Island of Manhattan to the rest of the United States. Israel is a pimple compared to the land mass of the Arab world.

I have a copy of the Land contract and Deed as registered in 1926 in my posession.

That’s one of the things that Joan Peters figured out - that most of modern day Israel was purchased from the Muslim owners, most of whom were three families of Syrians in Damascus.

One of the things that complicated transparency of those transactions was that the Muslims who sold the land did not want to be killed by other Islamics for doing so. Syria and many other Muslim countries had laws against selling to Jews, so many of the deals were secret (but well documented).

The word Zion is in the name of the bank you referenced. Often Hertzel is demonized by modern Arabs for his Zionist back to Israel movement.

Joan Peters discovered that for 1,200 years Arabs abused “their” Jews so terribly that those Jews often prayed for redemption by returning to Israel. She documents contact between them and Hertzel. It was they who implored and inspired him, not the other way around. In this interpretation, the brutality of the Arabs necessitated modern Israel.

Some of the Jews in Arab countries were backwards by at least a thousand years. At one point the Israeli air force rescues a group of them. Because they had never seen a plane before they thought that their prayers had been answered as they were magically lifted through the air. In fact, the pilots had to put out the fire they built on the floor of the plane.

Wow, Herzliya, home of the Herzliya conference.

Tel Aviv 15 years before your Great Grandfather made his purchase.
