We can reach some general conclusions - Palestine was not empty when Zionists started arriving, there was some Arab immigration as well etc. But we cannot give a precise number in any case, and even if we could, it would not constitute evidence to back any moral claims.

Many had moved from the Haraun to Haifa and north (including Az A-Din). TransJordanians moved from the east. Egyptians from the south. During the period of Muhammed Ali, North Africans felt at home, too.YMedadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14333122797414935958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7014209.post-16036508250520249362009-04-23T06:06:00.000+03:002009-04-23T06:06:00.000+03:00Good.

Because others smarter than him have posited it, he boldly expounds its truth and through the "truth" of others (smarter than he)he, again, boldly propounds that his is the moral argument. He is too enamored with those (smarter than he) from whom he gets his information to even entertain the thought that they may be wrong and that it is he who is deluded.Kae Gregoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09877159669918888116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7014209.post-1994980591192654322009-04-23T00:13:00.000+03:002009-04-23T00:13:00.000+03:00You are deluded.
