Also, people don’t buy Chevron in order to live there – they buy an apartment that is located in Chevron, but they don’t buy Chevron itself. Chevron itself belongs to all of Am Yisrael. The government is just our agent (and some would claim they aren’t even that). That’s why when Jews have been kicked out of places like Gush Katif, some refused to go at first – if they didn’t own it, it would have been gezel to refuse to leave. But they did own it, because Eretz Yisrael belongs to all of Am Yisrael – given to us by Hashem, and no government can change that fact even if they think they can.
