Hebron before the massacres. Jaffa. Many small villages had a Jewish majority with Sabras born to that land before, and during the mandate period.

As of the 1947 patition, Jews were the majority within the areas alloted to them by the resolution, and in Jerusalem.


Kevin: "The influx of Jews moving into the region throughout the 20th Century, to my understanding, paled the numbers living there at the time. Your estimates don't seem to make sense."

You're confused, so I'll rephrase this. Around the time of Israel's independence, 600,000 of the 900,000 displaced Jews exiled from various Arabic nations settled within Israel. Understand? These 600,000 Arabic Jews, and their DESCENDENTS make up nearly half of Israel's current population not including sabras actually born on the land itself. These are Jews that wandered that land and settled in various parts, for thousands of years. They are truly semetic people, who never set foot in Europe or the US unless it was on vacation. International laws regarding population change overs make this relevant, and you're going to see a huge movement to recognize this fact along with information to back these stats up... cause they're about to start going after billions of dollars in stolen assets, etc.

Also - I'm not sure this really means much but if one were to do the same comparison with Palestinian refugees... the orginal 650,000 refugees and their descendents are said to only make up 2% of the current entire Arab state population.
