Who lived in Palestine and under whose rule was it before British Mandate?
Before the British Mandate and the creation of the State of Israel , Palestine was for almost 500 years under the rule of the Turkish Ottoman Empire, who took it from Mameluks; also mainly Turks by origin. Mameluks took it from Arabs.So, for the last 800 years before the British mandate and the creation of the State of Israel Palestine was under Turkish rule.The population of Palestine under the Turkish rule consisted of:Christian and Jewish part:1. Jews, about 30,000 people in 1880;2. Christians, about 70,000`people in 18803. Muslim part, 246,000 people, of whom:Turks (of course; they were the official power there, as well as soldiers);Circassians, Albanians and other people whom the Turks incentivized to move to Palestine from other parts of the Ottoman Empire with the aim to push Arabs out of Palestine;Arabs, in the number of approximately 10,000 people according to the British General Allenby and to the British White Book.Summing up:In 1880, the combined non-Muslim population in Palestine was over 100,000 people.In 1880, according to the Census of the Ottoman Empire, only 246.000 Muslims lived in Palestine. These Muslims included Turks, Arabs, Circassians, Albanians and other Muslim people Turks brought from other parts of their Empire with the aim of completely pushing Arabs out of Palestine.They gave to this aim such a priority that they even put the strictest restrictions on Arab immigration to Palestine.The trick modern Arabs play is very simple. The word "Muslim" is strongly associated in the minds of the people of the West with the word "Arab". So, Arabs say: there were 250,000 Muslims in Palestine in 1880 and only 30,000 Jews. Then this statement is followed by the conclusion: Arabs were a majority in Palestine. Ethnic component is simply and nicely substituted with the religious one, and Turks, Circassians, Albanians become "Arabs, after which Palestine is declared " an Arab land". And people, especially young who, let´s be honest, are not too interested in all this "Palestinian story", do not even bother to think how all of a sudden 250,000 Muslims of the Turkish, Circassian, Albanian, Croatian origin in a wink became "250,000 Arabs". But the truth is that the number of Arab Muslims in Palestine in those years did not exceed 10,000 people. Other were Muslims- but not Arabs.But only 60 years later, in 1945, there were 1,200,000 ARABS in Palestine according to British statistics. Just imagine the rate of growth: from some 10,000 Arabs in 1880 to ONE MILLION TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND Arabs in just 60 years! Where did they appear from? They immigrated to Palestine from Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and Iran. If someone can offer other explanation for this never known in history population growth of 180 times in 60 years- he is welcome.
