In addition, even though not a valid route to statehood, how much of the current Israel was actually bought from previous owners, Beachbum. You say "they got it" - implying 100%. Are you sure of this?

Actually very little Had to be 'Bought' since 2/3 of what became Israel was State Land and owned by NO Arab.. passing from the Ottomans to the British to The Jews.
There was never a self-governing state on 'palestine' since it's was called ISRAEL... the first time. (renamed 'palestina' by the Romans, not Arabs, lol)
So much for 'sovereignty'.
After WWI, Many Countries were created that weren't 100% of one ethnicity or religion.
The Kurds Sovereignty was given to a Saudi prince in Iraq.
You never see much of an issue from the 'anti-zionists' here on that.
Other 'Palestinians' didn't get sovereignty over 77% of the British Mandate that became Jordan (Palestine 1), as it was given to a Saudi Prince Abdullah, Great Grandfather of the Present Abdullah.
These Saudi Princes, unlike the Jews, didn't live, and Hadn't settled in these countries for hundreds of Years as the Jews did in what became Israel.
