Palestinians onlooking construction work at the site of Kibbutz Dan, 1939.

Settlers weapon drill, Kibbutz Dan, 1939.

Note how well-equipped they are, considering it's 1939 and compare with the Zionist narrative of huge disadvantage of the Jewish settler population vis-à-vis the Palestinian population (or, as is commonly phrased by Israeli historians: "Arab gangs") on their lands on which they settled.

The land was often bought legally from landlords who didn't legally own the land they were selling - a land which was assigned to them by the farmers they employed.
