Sostenere che la popolazione palestinese sia
tutta originaria di quelle terre e' una falsita'. Gli islamici come al solito raccontano sempre delle menzogne.
A Muslim Aliyah Paralleled the Jewish Aliyah: Part I, to 1948

"So far from being persecuted, the Arabs have crowded into the country [Palestine] and multiplied till their population has increased."
— Winston Churchill in 1938
"[T]he Arab immigration into Palestine since 1921 has vastly exceeded the total Jewish immigration during this whole period."
— Franklin Delano Roosevelt in 1939
......
Much less famously, a large and diverse non-Jewish immigration to Palestine (meaning here, roughly Gaza, the West Bank, and the northern half of the State of Israel), mostly Muslim, has also taken place. These immigrants included Arabs, Muslims, and many others. They and their descendants probably make up a majority of the population now called Palestinian.
Palestinians, in other words, are not an aboriginal, autochthonous, first, indigenous, or native people; most of them are as recently arrived as Zionists. They are also as ethnically diverse.
The scale of this non-Jewish immigration was once well known, as the Churchill and Roosevelt quotes above indicate. It has, however, long since disappeared from view, replaced by a fable about a homogeneous people living on the land since the deepest antiquity.
This article seeks to restore the historical record by reviewing non-Jewish immigration to Palestine during the century from the 1840s until the creation of Israel in 1948; then it examines the fairytale that displaced that record. A future article will take up non-Jewish immigration since 1948 to the State of Israel.
