The map above is a UN map from 1950 showing land ownership in mandate Palestine in 1945 by Arabs and Jews, as well as public/collectively owned land. (...) It shows that in no district was Jewish-owned land a plurality. In all but four of the districts, Arabs owned the majority of the land, and in three of those remaining four, they owned a plurality. In the southern desert of the Negev, Arabs owned 15% of the land, compared to 85% that was publicly owned and less than 1% that was Jewish-owned.
