Did you not read the rest of the post? 13% is how much land was bought, the remaining 87% was from public land that was owned by the government and didn't belong to individual palestinians.

Ah my bad, they got the other 87% from a European colonizer. So much better.

That land never belonged to the locals. Before the British, that land belonged to the Ottoman government.
