It is widely reported that there were 700,000 Palestinian refugees in 1948 and over 4M today.

That’s an increase of 6x during the period.

5,400 inhabitants of Al-Faluja in 1948 x 6 = 32,400 or slightly less than the 33,000 they claim.

In addition, it is remarkably silly to look at worldwide population growth today and apply it to Palestinians over the last 60 years. They have had a much higher birth rate than the world average throughout this period. Although it is has dropped recently, it is still estimated to be about 3% annually.

So, if it's 3% then you arrive at significantly less than the 33000 they claim. Of course, to take the 6X growth of Palestinian refugees at face value is very um...er...charitable of you. The Palestinians are a political football for the Arab states. They don't want to care for them. They don't want to take them in. They want to use them for capital. One might think it's working with you.
