    Palestinians aren’t natives. they migrated at the same time as everyone else, 1 million people in 10 years.

      Yep, it was the only habitable parcel of land in the world with zero inhabitants until 1832. Jewish people and Palestinians both saw this weird chunk of land and realized they could just move there since no one else was there.

        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?
