Now, if we use scientifically arrived at population data, even if commissioned by a Jew (Montefiore), we find how full of crap you are Roufti.
"The censuses were commissioned by Montefiore when he was approached to give philanthropic assistance to the destitute Jewish population. He first visited Palestine in 1827, at which time there were between 500 and 600 poverty stricken Jews living in Jerusalem. The census documents originally were in the possession of Sir Moses, but later they became the property of Jews College, London, where they can be viewed today. The Hebrew University Library in Jerusalem has a microfilm copy of most, but not all, of the records; the condition of some sections is too poor to permit microfilming. The microfilms may be purchased from the Hebrew University for about $120 once permission has been obtained from the custodian of the records at Jews College, Albert Road, London NW4 2SJ, England.
In 1987, the first census of 1839 was published in book form by Hebrew University's Dinur Center. According to this source, 6,408 Jewish men, women and children resided in Palestine at this time—fewer than the 9,000 Jews reported by the British consul at the same time."
So, stop posting nonsense.

Actually it proves that you're full of crap, because in Jerusalem there were less Muslim Arabs than Jews in the 1800's.
Not according to serious population surveys as Montefiore's linked previously.
The Ottomans, not the BRITISH, who were in charge at the time kept pretty good records and they are among many that the Jews were majority population in Jerusalem in the 1800's. Besides your quote doesn't say that the Jews weren't majority population in Jerusalem, it just states the Jewish population, DUMBASS.
Montefiore used the Ottoman data. We know that the population of Jerusalem was about 15,000 at the time so we know the 500-600 Jews were not the majority. LOL
