Unpacking the Israel-Palestine Conflict: Displacement and Property Rights

The chapter explores the ongoing conflict between Palestinians and Israelis, shedding light on issues of land ownership, demolitions, and property rights violations faced by Palestinians. It delves into the unequal treatment and struggles of Palestinians over the past 70 years, painting a picture of continuous displacement and hardship in the region. The narrative challenges idealized perceptions of Israel's development, emphasizing the violent expropriation of land that led to the creation of the Israeli state and the deliberate expulsion of the non-Jewish population for Jewish majority control.
