On the Fact that (According to Efraim Karsh's Book, "Palestine Betrayed") 91% of Arab-Jewish Land Transactions from 1933 to 1936 Involved Ordinary People Selling Smallish Plots of Less than 30 Acres Rather than Absentee Landlords Selling Large Tracts of Land

Yeah, the whole absentee landlord narrative is one that both sides have used to justify their position; the Zionists to highlight that the land wasn't stolen but rather purchased from legitimate owners and the Palestinian to underscore how the sellers of the land had no firm attachment to it and were simply profiteering. Of course, now that the premise itself may be dubious a little more tweaking may be required on both accounts.
