What is Reddit's opinion of The Claim of Dispossession?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Always amusing to hear Arabs accusing Jews living in Judea of being "occupiers". You cannot be an occupier of your own land, especially when you're so indigenous to this land that your name "Jew" is derived from the name of the land "Judea".

The only occupiers in this situation are the Arabs living west of the Jordan River, almost all of whom are recent arrivals or their descendants. I invite anyone who wants to learn more about the historical demographics of the situation to read "The Claim of Dispossession".
This outstanding book goes into exhausting detail using verified facts & figures that prove the vast majority of Arabs living in Eretz Yisrael are recent arrivals who only migrated there......wait for it.....because of the economic opportunities created by THE JEWS!

Someone recommend today to me to read: https://www.amazon.com/Claim-Dispossession-Jewish-Land-Settlement-1878-1948-dp-0878559647/dp/0878559647/

I am more engaged in the 6 Day war and recommend Oren's book.

I also recommend Drinking the Sea at Gaza by Hass.

You're delusional, and living in a parallel reality that's divorced from any facts.

BTW - I'll repeat what I've stated before. If you want to reference serious, scholarly research on just how many Arabs were living there when the Jews started arriving, I highly recommend the seminal work of Arieh L. Avneri - The Claim of Dispossession: Jewish Land-Settlement and the Arabs, 1878-1948. This is THE definitive work on the demographics of the time, and conclusively proves the numbers posted.

In 1867, Mark Twain visited the Holy Land & recounted his travels in a book called "The Innocents Abroad". Here's a direct quote about what he saw (p. 361-362):

"..... A desolate country whose soil is rich enough, but is given over wholly to weeds... a silent mournful expanse.... a desolation.... we never saw a human being on the whole route.... hardly a tree or shrub anywhere. Even the olive tree and the cactus, those fast friends of a worthless soil, had almost deserted the country."

This land was destroyed by the Arabs who invaded it, what you euphemestically call the "Arabization of the region". They then left it in a state of ruin, confirming what Sir Claude Jarvis, former British governor of Sinai said about your people "The Arab is not the son of the desert but its father".

It was not until Jews started returning back to their ancestral homeland en masse that Arabs started migrating there as well for economic opportunities. There are anecdotal accounts of entire villages in Egypt, Libya, and elsewhere picking up and moving to pre-independence Israel, only to settle themselves near a Jewish-owned factory.

So please, spare me your warped history lesson. The Arabs are mostly recent inhabitants of this land. Just because your grandfather once let his sheep graze on a hill outside Hebron doesn't give you title to anything there.
