Did Muslims and Christians and Jews live in peace in Palestine before World War 2?
Prioktan918
NO. It is very unfortunate that this myth is widely believed and circulated.
The idea that there was peace specifically in Palestine prior to World War II is fallacious. Palestine had been the site of numerous militias and violent activities perpetrated by both Arab Jihadists and Zionist Settlers during the Interwar period. From 1936-1939 there was even an Arab Revolt against both British authorities and the Zionist Jewish Yishuv. Prior to World War I, there were violent attacks by Muslims under the protection of the Ottoman Banner on Jews and Christians in the territory to recover extra funds for the government. The idea that the British Mandate of Palestine was peaceful actually runs counter to historical evidence. The Pogroms in Safed and Hebron in the 19th century are further evidence of the inequality and problems between the Arab Muslims, who considered themselves to have a superior legal and political position and the Non-Muslims, namely, Jews, Christians, Druze, and Baha'i.

How many Jews were born in Israel or Palestine on or before 1948?
A:The question relates to the extent of Jewish occupation of the modern lands immediately before the declaration of Israel's independence. Actual births are hard to quantify directly, but there are statistics on population. And of course, births can be estimated on the basis of population and immigration. On eve of Crimean War, (1853-56) about half a million people lived in Palestine, including 20,000 Jews.By 1914, there were an estimated 70,000 Jews in Palestine. Many had arrived in the period since 1882.Following the end of the First world War, the British classified the 800,000 inhabitants of Palestine according to religion: 650,000 Muslims; 80,000 Christians; 60,000 Jews. During the war, almost 40,000 Muslims, more than 10,000 Christians and more than 1,000 Jews had died fighting the Turks.By the end of 1947, there were 600,000 Jews in Palestine. Most were legal and illegal immigrants, and so were not born in the territory.
