    that’s exactly what happened… 1 million Arabs migrated in less than 10 years. whatever population was there before them was completely out numbered by the Arabs. the migration was 30x the increase seen at the same time the “baby boomers” were booming. that’s 30x population count, not 30x the percentage.

        and they were replaced by more Arabs, follow along:

        Arabs can be both a victim and a perpetrator amongst themselves.

        crazy right?

          Or and this is nuts, but the Ottoman Empire was building up the area and urbanization was happening. Nobody got replaced, it was just more people moving in.

            those are synonyms, or are we all pretending gentrification doesn’t exist again?

                  No. Not exactly. The Israelis have spent decades pushing Palestinians out. They aren’t just moving in.

                    i’m not arguing against that, I just don’t buy that Palestinians are natives. Ottomans in the region were subject to mass migration following the British mandate.
