of the JNF to be distributed to Jews.

Unless, of course, you think that Palestinians can't actually own land, and that it's OK to take it from them to redistribute to Jews. I want to remind you that in Mandatory Palestine, there was land owned by Jews and land owned by Palestinians, and that there was no legal difference between the two groups as in how their land was owned.
