show that over 80% was "public" land - 8% Jewish, 10% non-resident Arab (not Palestinians). Palestinians were tenant farmers that paid rent to their Turk & Arab land owners - but they didn't own it.
This isn't Pickletopia where living on the land and working it makes you owner. They were paid contractors.
