Look, I referred to the man's family, which is a lot of people, not just to him. In individual Palestinian families some of them managed to immigrate as refugees to the US, and some people became refugees simply because they were in the wrong place at the wrong time.

By 1967 their titles to their properties at Mount of Olives were about as useful as Confederate money.

You can play around, and look for holes, problems, etc., and accuse me of being a liar, but the man I'm referring to was a real human being and his family (which means mom, dad, sisters, brothers, cousins, etc.) ended up as refugees. The family owned property in Mount of Olives.

Couldn't be simpler than that.

Now, why is it so important to you that there couldn't possibly have been Palestinian residents of this area for many centuries?

There were also Jewish families who lived in the Holy Land for centuries. somehow nobody ever mentions them. I have relatives in Jerusalem who lived in the Old City for centuries. I am sick of hearing the sob stories and the whining of Palestinians who all owned mansions and villas and wear the keys around their necks. If each and every one of them had as much land as they claim, Israel would have to be the size of Texas.

My relatives also got thrown out of their homes, not just once but many times.
