I went to a lecture about he history of BC Canada in the 1860s. The British made land settlement treaties with the natives, then cheated, whittling down the lands over and over until they were less than 10% the original size. They would steal a chunk for a railroad. They would steal a chunk for a new municipality. I thought, where have I heard this story before? Ah yes. Israelis and their illegal encroachments into the Arab territories.
