The majority of Palestinian Arabs were natives

[P F Tinmore]

According to the British text of population changes published in 1930 Jewish population growth in Palestine was about 48,000 people annually; 8,000 from natural growth and 40,000 due to immigration, while Palestinian Arab population growth was about 30,000 person annually; 22,000 from natural growth and 8,000 due to immigration. This indicates that the majority of Jews in Palestine were foreigners, and majority of Palestinian Arabs were natives.

"From analyses of rates of increase of the Muslim population of the three Palestinian sanjaks, one can say with certainty that Muslim immigration after the 1870s was small. Had there been a large group of Muslim immigrants their numbers would have caused an unusual increase in the population and this would have appeared in the calculated rate of increase from one registration list to another... Such an increase would have been easily noticed; it was not there"

(McCarthy, 1990, p. 16).

Demographics of Israel IN 1947 ? - Yahoo! Answers

Couldn't you get a better source then yahooanswers ? and what claim do the Palestinians have to that land ? And did not the U.N. have and the U.S. have anything to say about the creation of a Jewish state ? It was more like this, Jews wanted a Jewish state. They bought and were granted some shitty land that no one wanted until it was worked into good healthy land. Then the Palestinians decided that it was there land when in actuality they are nothing more then freeloaders. They could be compared to the illegal aliens in this country.

And did not the U.N. have and the U.S. have anything to say about the creation of a Jewish state ?

I don't know. What would they have to say about creating a Hindu state in France?

All of this historical evidence from unimpeachable eyewitnesses destroys Israel's contention that it developed Palestine through its colonization. The legend that the Zionists have created, that they made "the desert bloom with roses," is totally without foundation. "Encyclopedia of the Palestine Problem"
Abraham Granott, formerly Managing Director of the Jewish National Fund, admits:
When the kingdom of Byzantium was subjugated by the Arabs, practically the whole of the land belonged to the big proprietors, the Emperor, the municipal authorities, and religious bodies, as churches and so on, while the soil was cultivated by the former owners who had remained on their plots as tenants after the land had passed into the hands of large owners.(1) Thus the Palestinian fanners expelled by the Zionists in 1948 were the lineal descendants of the most ancient owners of the land.

Oh, at last we are blessed to see that piece of eclectic agitprop and drivel, designed, again, to cover the largely immigrant "palestinian" butt. Let's destroy it.
Either Granot didn't know, what he was talking about, or our usual arab agitpropsters habitually distorted the quote. Byzantium, which ruled "palestine" from 395 to 614 AD, didn't fall to arabs - it fell to persians, who ruled it from 614 to 628 AD. Arab caliphates appeared on the horizon in 637 AD only, with the Umayad period the first. That's when a gradual "redistribution" of the christian and jovish lands started, although, christians and jooz went on to work the land, because the arab raider-vagrant lifestyle and settling down were incompatible. Nowaday one of ways to bamboozle innocent international folks and to cover the immigrant arab butt it to rename it "palestinian" and claim descent from the philistines, who, by the way, disappeared completely about the time of Cyrus' conquests.

Must have missed it. It's for your desire to remove Israel and install a single state. It's for your desire to end the life of Israel rather than start a life called Palestine.

Know?

I think it would be ironic if some point in the future the Palestinians woke up to their reality and overthrew Hamas and Fatah, and adopted a more secular and democratic form of government. It would throw years of marketing campaigns and left wing propaganda down the toilet as the regimes they presently support in Palestine would suddenly be revealed as the terror ridden, hate filled theocracies they really are.
