This whole discussion as regards 'Stolen', by whomever, is Bizarre and Improper.
In 1948, The UN
apportioned the last of the territory of the Ottoman Break up to the remaining Palestinians (the ones who didn't get 'Jordan'), and the Jews.
77% of the British Mandate and 99?% of the Ottoman Land had gone to.... ARABS under various New and old names, previously. No vote of an International Body, just British whim (ie Iraq). Unlike the more legitimate Israel. (87% to Arabs if you include the 1948 partition/10% more to 'palestinians')
The remaining 23% was partitioned-for-rule/Sovereignty/NOT ownership betwen the remaining Resident Jews and Arabs; roughly 13/10 in favor of the Jews.
And of the Jews 13%, 2/3 was [intentionally] State Land and owned by No Arab (passing from the Ottomans to the British to them) including the half alone of Israel that is the Negev Desert.
No land was 'Stolen'.
The
Partition involved NO mandatory evacuations Nor land changing hands.
It was the Arab Started War that resulted in Refugees and Evacuated Land, Not the UN Resolution 181.
