Most of those pictures are the opinions of a few. It would be illogical to assign them to the many. Even that said, I don't see any statement in those pictures that are false...

They're right in that regard...but the question where people seem to be divided is "exactly how long must a people hold onto land for it to be 'theirs'? And does this length supersede the ownership rights of the former owner?"

The same disagreement is happening in Palestine.

If I were to steal your television, and then hold onto it until I've had it long enough to associate it with myself and be depended on it, is it mine or is still rightfully yours?

I more commonly associate with what they're saying in the pictures; they're not saying they want to take over the south west and kick out 'the white man'; they just want to be recognized legally in that land considering it once belonged to their families and ancestors. They want more co-existence.
