The Jewish Colonisation Association makes its first major purchase in the north of Palestine in an acquisition of 31,500 dunums of land near Tiberias from the Sursock family. This will go on to become one of the largest land purchases for the purposes of colonisation within Palestine.[2]
1910
The Fula affair: Elias Sursock sold 10,000 dunums around the village of al-Fula, the Palestinian peasants inhabiting the land petitioned the Ottoman government for assistance, but were ultimately unsuccessful and expelled by the Hashomer paramilitary group. This marks one of the first expulsions of Palestinians.[4]
1921
Between 1921 and 1925, 80,000 acres (320 km2) of land in the Jezreel Valley is bought up by the American Zion Commonwealth (AZC) for about nearly three-quarters of a million pounds as part of the Sursock Purchases.[20] Under British Mandate, the land laws were rewritten, and the Palestinian farmers in the region were deemed tenant farmers by the British authorities, and the rights of the new owners to displace its population is upheld.[21][22] In total 1,746 families were displaced from 240,000 dunums of land;[23][24][25] Despite this however, some of the native inhabitants refused to leave peaceably, and had to be expelled by force by the British colonial police.[26] The dispossessed would flee to shantytowns on the edges of Jaffa and Haifa.[27]
It was the Ottoman Empire that allowed Turks to control & sell the land. If you owned land you had to pay taxes & were registered for the draft something Arabs didn't want to they didn't own the land, they simply were "sharecroppers". So the Jews had the Arabs moved off the land by the British so the Jews could set up their commie kabutizes
