Which comes first.. respecting property ownership, or survival?

Well you see the difference here is that the Americans did something very Machiavellian. They killed off all the indians - at least all the indians that could mount some sort of resistance.
There are still plenty of Palestinians alive and the land was split about 56.47% to the Jewish state and 43.53% to the Arab state. Of course that was the orignial state, I'm not sure what it's like now, but probably more along the lines of 60/40 due to Israel constantly grabing more and more land.
