McGrath ~ Not really a relevant news item. The points made above were not about the purchase of houses in towns & cities, which was the question at issue in the Haaretz piece, but of barren and unproductive areas of land ~ desert, in fact ~ which were purchased by bodies like the JNF {Jewish National Fund}, and developed to productivity & fertility by pioneer groups by irrigation and agriculture. Previously these had been uninhabited, so nobody was 'displaced' or 'dispossessed' by the purchase.

Not the same thing at all.

Try again ~ if you feel inclined and can find any material to support such an endeavour.
