European colonists and their offspring.
et al,
The State of Israel is a complex and diverse multi-ethnic, multi-racial, and multi-religious society. The simplified thumbnail perspective might be broken down like this:
Multi-ethnic considerations:Multi-racial considerations:
- Jewish;
- Arab
- Druze,
- Bedouin
- Circassians
- Samaritans
- Armenians
NOTE: Some Jewish Ethnic Differences may be seen:
- Ashkenazim (Jewish ethnic lines from mostly Germany and Eastern Europe)
- Sephardim Jews (Jewish ethnic lines from mostly to Spain, Portugal, and Arab countries).
Multi-religious considerations:
- Caucasian,
- African,
- Mongoloid
- Jewish
- Christian
- Muslim
NOTE: In addition there are religious differences among Jews,Israel is, very much, a 21st Century country --- having the highest ratio of university degrees to its population in the world. Israel produces huge number of scientific papers ---- more than a 100 papers per 1000 researchers; which shows in the number of Nobel laureates (12: more than all the other Middle Eastern and North African Muslim countries combined) in Physics, Chemistry, Physiology, Medicine, and Literature. (By comparison: Egypt: 4 --- Lebanon: 0 --- Syria: 0 --- Jordan: 0 --- Saudi Arabia: 0 --- Turkey: 1) Israel is at the tip of the spear in terms of high technology developments and medial research advancements; particularly in the areas of microprocessor design and manufacturing; and as diverse as stem cell research --- and --- the treatment of neuro-degenerative diseases. Israel was the first to develop and install a large-scale, fully functional solar electricity generating plant. Of the 16 women in history that have been named Noble Laureates, among them is Ada Yonath, a protein crystallographer (Chemistry), for her studies of the structure and function of the ribosome.

Israel was founded by European colonists and its founding and current leadership is still predominately made up of people of European origin. Much like other European colonial projects e.g. the U.S., Australia, many Latin American countries, Canada the former Rhodesia and the former White-ruled Republic of South Africa. N.B. In Latin America, where the indigenous people were not subject to successful genocide such as Bolivia and Ecuador, for example, the indigenous people have begun to regain rule.

Sounds like Otto the Nazirene, from Life of Brian:

OTTO: Yes. Otto. It’s time, you know. . .
BRIAN: What?

BRIAN: Oh.
OTTO: He’s right you know. The new leader. We need more living room. We must move into the traditionally Jewish areas of Samaria.
BRIAN: What about the Samaritans?

Maybe you should be asking "What about the Jews" who lived there for 4,000 before the arab muslims invaded again

Any people whose ancestors were Jews in the area of Palestine 4,000 years ago had converted to Christianity (under Byzantine law) and then Islam (most of the current Muslim and Christian Palestinians) or had left.
Mineva, et al,
It is difficult these days to distinguish the "Interests" of a Colonial Power [wherein a country engages the practice of domination, which involves the subjugation (benevolent or not --- belligerent or not) of one people to another] and that of an Hegemony (the political, economic, or military predominance or control of one state over others).
(COMMENT)Puppets of Britain, another British tool to take under control ME.
It can be said that, at one time, the influence of the UK was extended over Palestine (the Mandate for), but that ended in 1948. In contemporary time (since 2002 and the Madrid Conference), the influence over the mediation of the peace process in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict was the Quartet (United Nations, the United States, the European Union, and Russia); but may have been recently over taken (in part) by Egypt as the mediator.
"We do not give the Israelis arms because they are pro-Western or because we admire their achievement. We give them arms because our interests in the Middle East are to keep peace and quiet, and to prevent war. Anything which makes war more likely is against the interests of the Western powers."
SOURCE: This quote is attributed to an unnamed British Ambassador to Israel, provided by Jonathan Spyer, Britain’s policymakers in late 1960's --- From the Paper: Chapter 1 - Britain and the Middle East
What is interesting is that China wants to get involved in the peace process as part of the Quartet.
China Wants to Join Middle East Peace QuartetAt the present time, none of the major powers wants to be entangled with anything serious growing relationship with the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict. There is no reason to bleed into the blackhole if you don't have to. Economically, the West Bank and Gaza Strip do not represent a good invest with reasonable risks.
China is ready to join the Middle East Quartet to help negotiate a peace agreement between the Israeli and Palestinians, according to the country’s foreign minister.

No --- At one time you might have been correct (the assertion that Israel was a Puppets of Britain), but that has not been true for more than six decades.

I find myself wondering how you manage to stay so calm and rational in responding to the parade of filth that infests this sub forum?
I find myself wondering why racist filth like yourself are allowed to post on this sub-forum.

So where did the Jews in the Ottoman census come from then, if as you state there were no Jews in Palestine until the "Europeans invaded and stole the land" Even your own alleged religion says that the Jews outnumbered the arab muslims
CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Jerusalem (After 1291)
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...""
