Why do muslims claim the land of the Jews in Palestine?
-
Muslim arabs tell us strange sotry about how they are "the native inhabotants of Palestine" ( what is Arabia for them, then?) and about how they were always "a majority " in Palestine. But "Palaestina ex monumentis veteribus illustrata" - a detailed geographical survey of Palestine in 1696 written in Latin by Adriaan Reland published by Willem Broedelet, Utrecht, in 1714. Residents of the REGION mainly concentrated in cities: Jerusalem, Acre, Safed, Jaffa, Tiberias and Gaza. In most cities, the majority of residents are Christians, Jews very few Muslims who generally are Bedouins who came to serve as Seasonal workers in agriculture or building. Nablus: 120 muslims, 70 Samaritans Nazareth: 700 people - all Christians Umm al-Fahm: 50 people-10 families, ALL Christian Gaza: 550 people- 300 Jews,250 Christian(Jews engaged in agriculture ,Christians deal with the trading and transporting the products) Tiberias: 300 residents, all Jews. Safed: about 200 inhabitants, all Jews Jerusalem :5000 people, most of them (3,500) Jews, the rest - Christian (1000) Muslim (500) note* (no muslims in gaza) ! If muslims were an almost invisible minority in Palestine just some 300 years ago, how did they become an absolute majority just 100 years later, and where did all those millions of muslims appear in Palestine from?

Answer:
Hilarious, even the Jewish virtual library puts the Jewish population at less than 2% in 1517 ( http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Society_&_Culture/israel_palestine_pop.html ) According to the founder of Israel's Central Bureau of Statistics Roberto Bachi there were 219 000 Muslims, 11 000 Christians and only 2 000 Jews in the year 1690. So Muslims were the vast majority. Even by each Palestinian city, you can see that. In the middle of the 16th century for example Hebron had 749 Muslim taxable households to only 20 Jewish. Jerusalem had 7,287 Muslims and only 1,363 Jews. Nablus 806 Muslim households to only 15 Jewish. Safed had 1,121 Muslim households to 716 Jewish (Jewish community of Safed was just formed at that time of Jewish refugees from Spain). You asked a very important question, where did millions of Muslims appear in Palestine from? Do you have any records of massive Muslim immigration into Palestine? No, because Muslims were not tinny minority, and they did not massively immigrate to Palestine as your Hasbara work implies. Genetic evidence also puts your Hasbara into shame my dear friend. Majority of Palestinian Arabs were found to be descendants of people who lived in Palestine since prehistoric times.

You're a f***ing liar and you know it. Stop spitting lies that are believed by no-one, not even Zionists themselves. You're re-writing history like it's your personal Diary. Just stop kid. If you want facts, you can very easily find them. But what should be thought about and debated is whether you actually want them.

"If muslims were an almost invisible minority in Palestine just some 300 years ago, how did they become an absolute majority just 100 years later, and where did all those millions of muslims appear in Palestine from" I wonder sometimes if some people really have a brain in their heads! Jews were less than 3% of the total population of Palestine. It's the jews who came to Palestine on ships in hundreds of thousands, not arabs. And that stupid story about "arabia is the land of arabs" is..... i got nothing to say about that as i can't get that low.

Ever heard of the Ottomans? You know....that Muslim empire that lasted until about World War II and geographically controlled the land you see today as Israel/Palestine in their interim until the British came along? Twas that time when Muslims were in influx in Palestine.

The situation in Palestine in the 17th century was the following. Jews were the majority in the main cities includingh Jerusalem. Muslims were the majority in rural areas. But the truth is that Palestine in the 17th century, as well as in 18th and 19th, was hosting less than 300,000 people. Muslims - first Arabs and then Turks- converted Palestine which under Jews was the granary of the Mediterranean into a waste and barren land.

There is an organization that has found many "Palestinians" are infact Jews who were forced to convert to Islam in the 1700 and 1800s. Almost all being farmers rather than city dwellers. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=om9xF4eRTp4
