There is a problem among libertarians, and that is that they claim their idea of private property is obvious, natural, and exists in a vaccum, but it is not and does not. One approach to property is to say that property is assigned according to law. But this requires a government for property to exist at all.

If you don't feel that law is a prerequisite for property to exist......who does the land of Israel belong to?

a. The Jews, because they hold it now.
b. The Palestinians, because they held it 60 years ago.
c. The British, because they conquered it from the Ottomans.
d. The Ottomans, because they ruled it before World War I.
e. The Palestinians, because they bought it from the Crusaders.
f. The Turks, because the Crusaders conquered it from them.
g. The Palestinians, because the Turks conquered it from the Arabs.
h. The Vatican, because the Crusaders conquered it righteously.
i. France, because most of the First Crusade came from France.
j. Russia, because the Crusaders swore to restore the land to the Byzantine Empire, which finds it closest analog today in Russia.
k. Greece, for the above and because the Byzantine Empire is closer to Greece.
l. The Vatican, because the Byzantine Empire is the Roman Empire, and the Vatican is the true heir to Rome being in Rome.
m. The Palestinians, because the Crusaders wrongly took it from them.
n. Iran, because Shiites are right.
o. The Palestinians, because Sunnis are right.
p. The above mentioned Christian countries, because the Muslims wrongly conquered it from the Eastern Roman Empire.
r. The Jews, because the Romans wrongly expelled them from the land.
s. Iran, because Persia ruled the land.
t. The Jews, because God gave them the land.
u. The descendants of the Canaanites, because they held the land before the Jews.
v. The Jews, because God promised the land to Abraham.
