Link from a credible source and not some islamonazi propaganda site. Even the Ottoman census shows that Jews were in the majority. Or are you calling your fellow muslims liars now ?
By the way the Jews have been returning to Samaria and Judea since the collapse of the Roman empire, and have a 4,500 year occupancy of the area. The arab muslims can manage 22 years until 1099 when they were expelled completely and have never had control since. You having a degree in history should know all this, or is this another example of kithman and taqiya
Demographic history of Palestine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
According to
Ottoman statistics studied by
Justin McCarthy,
[24] the population of Palestine in the early 19th century was 350,000, in 1860 it was 411,000 and in 1900 about 600,000 of which 94% were
Arabs. In 1914 Palestine had a population of 657,000 Muslim Arabs, 81,000
Christian Arabs, and 59,000 Jews.
[25] McCarthy estimates the non-Jewish population of Palestine at 452,789 in 1882, 737,389 in 1914, 725,507 in 1922, 880,746 in 1931 and 1,339,763 in 1946.
[26]
Let's look at what the BRITISH said about the population of Palestine.
The
1922 census of Palestine was the first
census carried out by the authorities of the
British Mandate of Palestine, on 23 October 1922.
[1]
The reported population was 757,182, including the military and persons of foreign nationality. The division into religious groups was
590,390 Muslims, 83,694 Jews, 73,024 Christians, 7,028 Druze, 808 Sikhs, 265
Bahais, 156
Metawalis, and 163
Samaritans.
[2]
1931 census of Palestine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The population was divided by religion as follows:
759,717 Muslims, 174,610 Jews, 91,398 Christians, 9,148 Druzes, 350 Bahais, 182 Samaritans, and 421 "no religion".
[3] A special problem was posed by the
nomadicBedouin of the south, who were reluctant to cooperate. Estimates of each tribe were made by officers of the district administration according to local observation. The total of 759,717 Muslims included 66,553 persons enumerated by this method.
[4] The number of foreign British forces stationed in Palestine in 1931 totalled 2,500.

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA Jerusalem After 1291
"...Present condition of the City: (1907 edition)
Jerusalem (El Quds) is the capital of a sanjak and the seat of a mutasarrif directly dependent on the Sublime Porte. In the administration of the sanjak the mutasarrif is assisted by a council called majlis ida ra; the city has a municipal government (majlis baladiye) presided over by a mayor. The total population is estimated at 66,000.
The Turkish census of 1905, which counts only Ottoman subjects, gives these figures:
Jews, 45,000; Moslems, 8,000; Orthodox Christians, 6000; Latins, 2500; Armenians, 950; Protestants, 800; Melkites, 250; Copts, 150; Abyssinians, 100; Jacobites, 100; Catholic Syrians, 50. During the Nineteenth century large suburbs to the north and east have grown up, chiefly for the use of the Jewish colony. These suburbs contain nearly Half the present population...""
