"The purchase of land in that case is similar to colonists ‘buying’ land from indigenous peoples in America." - That's a very false analogy because Jews paid full market value for the land, whereas when European colonists "bought" land they literally just gave the natives some beads because they natives didn't even understand what was going on. The Ottoman Empire sellers knew full well what was going on. And the Arab Muslim tenant farmer semi-victims were being victimized by their own Sunni Muslim co-religionists, the Ottomans. If those Arab Muslims wanted a fairer deal, then maybe when they were in charge centuries earlier they should have set up a different system of yeoman smallholders, but they didn't. The system that Muslim Arabs were victimized by was the exact system they had earlier been in charge of! The situation is totally different from the Americas!
