He also ignores the fact that religious Jews (eg, majority before the rise of Labor Zionism) have just as many children as observant Muslims do. So by his logic, somehow the Muslims in the area were able to reproduce at a faster rate than normal instead of just increasing with a regular birth rate. Today, Muslims have a higher birth rate because they choose to do so. That wasn't the case a few generations ago.
Clearly, there was an influx of Muslim immigrants.

Not at all. In fact that has been one of my points. Whenever someone says "the Jews" they are confusing the issue. There were three different groups of Jews.
1) The native Jews. Most of these Jews had lived in Palestine forever. They were religious. They had an amicable relationship with their Muslim and Christian neighbors. They were a part of Palestine's native population. They were opposed to the establishment of a Jewish state. This group is still opposed to a Jewish state.
2) The Zionist Jews. They had little or no ancestral connection to the holy land. They were not religious. Their plan was to shove the natives aside and create a Jewish state in Palestine. They had considerable help from he British who had centuries of experience in shoving natives aside.
3) Every day Jews. The Zionists imported Jews by the boatload from wherever they could find them to create facts on the ground and to be placeholders on stolen land. (settlers) They were promised peace and prosperity and they took advantage of that promise. Generally they had no ill intent. They went to Palestine simply to have a better life.
Jews have lived in and ruled in Israel for 3000 years, 3000 years before so-called Palestinians even existed.
Harvard Semitic Museum: The Houses of Ancient Israel...
In archaeological terms The Houses of Ancient Israel: Domestic, Royal, Divine focuses on the Iron Age (1200-586 B.C.E.). Iron I (1200-1000 B.C.E.) represents the premonarchical period. Iron II (1000-586 B.C.E.) was the time of kings. Uniting the tribal coalitions of Israel and Judah in the tenth century B.C.E., David and Solomon ruled over an expanding realm. After Solomon's death (c. 930 B.C.E.) Israel and Judah separated into two kingdoms.
Israel was led at times by strong kings, Omri and Ahab in the ninth century B.C.E. and Jereboam II in the eighth. The Houses of Ancient Israel § Semitic Museum
I am correct and you are pimping propaganda.
