The paper coauthored by Alan Futerman, Dr. Walter Block, and Rafi Farber, rebutting Murray Rothbard’s War Guilt in the Middle East article published in 1967:
The Legal Status of the State of Israel: A Libertarian Approach

Jews and non-Jewish Palestinians share a unique genetic heritage, evidence that indigenous Palestinians are actually Jews who were forcibly converted to Christianity or Islam:
HaAretz Article with study links
Jerusalem Post Article

Documentation that the vast majority of land owned by non-Jewish Palestinians was not homesteaded and therefore unowned from a libertarian standpoint.

Why I am an Anarchist but Love Minarchists

Two key trips to the Temple Mount with Moshe Feiglin, head of Israel’s libertarian minarchist Zehut Party, of which Rafi is a founding member:
1) On Passover
2) On Sukkot

Rafi mentioned a table I’ve cited in my work showing that Jews owned only 5.8 percent (1,514,247 dunams) of the land in Palestine in 1943. This is from A Survey of Palestine: Prepared in December 1945 and January 1946 for the information of the Anglo-American Committee of Inquiry. Here’s the page (566):

Here’s a UN map showing land ownership statistics from 1945. I cited this without mentioning the source in the show (when I mentioned Arabs owned more land than Jews in every single district, including Jaffa).

The Tom Woods debate on Palestine was kind of lame. you have two guys splitting hairs over abstractions. It's simple. Private property is being forcibly stolen. You don't racially inherit land.

The Jewish claim on land from 2000 years ago still ignores that there were also Palestinians there 2000 years ago. They call them philistines in the bible.

You don't return from Europe 2000 years later and say a long time ago my relatives moved from here. It would be like 1960 years from now Jews colonizing Europe and saying they were there 2000 years ago, ignoring the fact that so we're Europeans.
