It's a mix of conquered, purchased and stolen land

    Conquered is a funny way of saying stolen.

    Coerced purchasing, or purchasing from someone else who stole, or purchasing under intentionally false understanding, is still stealing.

    killing the previous owner has been a long established way of getting land for thousands of years

    theft requires a victim, the dead do a bad job of filling that role

    So I assume you agree that if someone murdered you, you would prefer they go free and live a happy life.

    After all what would they be punished for. There is no victim.

    if there's no punishment for murder in war why should there be punishment for killings in peace
