RE: People of PALESTINE
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
This is why countries Japan, and Vietnam, have the right idea today: You have to protect your borders and keep citizenship exclusively for descendants of your particular country or you could eventually lose your country. Did the Palestinian government really consent to having an enclave of a new state be taken from their own? As I understand it the UN forced it on them.

There was nothing resembling a Palestinian state before the end of World War I and the British Mandate. Before that, that region was controlled by the Ottoman Empire for hundreds of years before. The history before that is complicated with the area changing hands both in terms of political rule, religion and other demographics a number of times over the centuries. At the time of the British Mandate, the area was sparsely populated (less than 500,000 total or something along those lines from what I recall which included the area that is Israel today). The population grew pretty fast after that:
"The first official census was taken in Palestine in 1922, by the British mandated government. In that occasion a total population of 757,182 individuals was found, of whom 590,390 were Muslims, 83,694 Jews, and 73,024 Christians."
That's still nothing compared to the ~15 million today
That seems like a lot. It is 20 times the size in a hundred years. A quick calculation sets this at 3% per year. I had some time in 2020. So at the time, I looked at world population growth at the time, and found that the average world population growth has never been much more than 2% in 5000 years. I guess the women there never put the d*ck down.
Many of the people in Palestine do not descend from people who have been there for a hundred years (or more). Many came from other countries. I think immigration played a big role in the past (doubtful that is true these days). A lot of that immigration occurred from Muslim countries post World War I after the Ottoman Empire collapsed. And of course there was a lot of Jewish immigration leading up to, during, and immediately after World War II.
Seriously, world population growth is organic meaning it comes from reproduction of those already there. With immigration or invasion I can understand it being much higher than the average world population growth.
