The Catholic Encyclopedia only mentions the 1905 census, which is believable as the European Zionists had been flooding into Palestine since the mid 1800s. You also forgot to include "the rest of the story" with respect to the Catholic Encyclopedia citation:
"The total population is estimated at 66,000. The Turkishcensus 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,úCopts, 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."
AND..
What's the matter with Most of the Jews coming in the 19th Century?
MOST of the PalestinKians/ARABS were immigrants too.
Their number grew in strongly throughout the Late 19th century too.. BUT EVEN GREATER IN THE EARLY 20TH Century as they followed the Jews in for Jobs.
MOST Australians and Americans were not there before the late 19th/Early 20th either.
How many Americans were West of the Mississippi in 1850?
Indeed you were.Montelicita said:Hoisted by your own petard. Half the population was in newly built suburbs to house the new Jewish colonists. LOL
What disqualifying about "the 19th Century"?
The backbone of the Chart were the Three OTTOMAN CENSUSES. (1844, 1876, 1905)Montelicita said:As far as the Christian Zionist magazine citation, well, it's not worth discussing.
Again, NOT In Dispute except by the Brain Dead.
And in Jerusalem, as well as Safed, and a few others, Jews have been a Majority since about 1840.
And of course, Jews did NOT get All of Palestine. They got about Half, in which THEY were the Majority.
Oooops!
Yes, I already Posted the Weizmn-Faisal agreement.Montelicita said:As far as Palestine to be a separate Jewish state. The British denied this in writing several times. Here is one example:
.....
I guess we can see who the propagandist is.
You had NO Answer as to WHO the 'Palestinians' really were (the JEWS)
There was to a Single JEWISH majority Homeland with an Arab minority.
Of course, they were so hostile they had to be split.
Thus, the Partition.
The whole purpose of the British Mandate was to create a Majority Jewish State in Palestine... with an Arab Minority.
But due to Arab Hostility and Number (Following the Jews in for jobs and breeding Like Rabbits) and British gratefullness to Faisal, the Arabs managed to get their Own state in the Partition.
However they were/are a greedy, envious, belligerent lot, and wanted it all.
