It's not right to have created a dynasty based on one guy in the 1800s claiming everything in sight and having his idiot descendents be wealthy simply based on the fact. They didn't do anything except inherent land. Land that isn't your primary home should have to be leased and not owned, that way it's being used most effectively and not privatized for the sole benefit of the owner. It leads to land speculation and squatting of land that someone else would like to use. Additionally, natural resources should also belong to the people and companies should have to pay fair compensation for their extraction. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] SquareBear@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) Yeah but that isn't what everyone is saying. They are saying give it all back to the native Americans and what? Move back to Europe? Israel is more muddy people have been taking that land from eachother for millenia. Just because after the 2nd world war Israel was re-created after being stamped out prior to that. Who was the aggressor and the victim back then. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] PlasterAnalyst@kbin.social 1 point 2 years ago TBH, I don't see what's do great about Israel anyway. It just looks like a hot desert area with rocks everywhere. permalink fedilink source parent
