I asked Grok how many muslims lived there before 1880, and the answer was 350,000.
I asked how many live there now, and the answer was 7,000,000 (which I doubt, a bit).
Regardless, the 350,000 did not breed to become 7M-ish. Most migrated there after the Jews returned and made it productive. They were Egyptians, Lebanese, Syrians, and Saudis, etc. Most had no family roots in the area. They were the immigrants attracted by wealth and jobs created by others.
Sound familiar?
Sounds like South Africa to me - with the key difference being that the European settlers in South Africa (and Rhodesia) were not native to the area. They developed it from wilderness, and that had to count for a lot, but it was essentially empty land. In Israel the Jews not only made the land productive, but they ARE the native population.
