The numbers are only "pertinent" as a tool against Israel when it suites the Islamic propagandists. The Ottomans constrained Jewish immigration while all the while its policy on stopping Arab Islamic immigration was nearly non-existent. The same holds true under the British Mandate especially following from the discrimatory Hope Simpson Report and the 1939 British White Paper.

Hence, your number game only points up an important point:

(1) You lied about "Palestinians" claiming THEIR land was taken. No such claim is viable given the fact they themselves profited from the conquerings of ISLAMIC kingdoms including the Ottomans.;

(2) The demographics are entirely irrelevant from another standpoint in that they don't address the locations of Arab settlement as well as the fact the 1918 figure includes the area east of the Jordan.

It just so happens the Jews were deprived of the eastern Jordan area in 1922 and thus undermining the Balfour Declaration, by the creation of the Transjordan by Britain chopping up the National Home by 2/3. Now the Arabs could claim a Jew free area east of the Jordan and could also make contrived and bloated claims West of the Jordan.

Further proof why Palestine national ambitions must be recognised

I could care less about their "ambitions". Their "ambitions" are stated clearly in the PLO Charter. For THAT ambition they should be trusted like the neighborhood thug.

"We shall organise...an elite army.....and then I am sure we shall not be prevented from settling in other parts of the country, whether through mutual understanding with our Arab neighbors, or by other means."

Do you want me to start quoting from your "Palestinian" Arab nazi friends like the Grand Muft Hajj Amin al Husayni the Grand Mufti during the Mandate Period? Should I quote all that vitriole of your pan Arab Islamic fascist friends seeking to destroy Israel and the Jews and drive them to the sea?

Dear Lent, I am no more inclined to seek the friendship of Arabs than I am of Jews. But when those groups' insistence on swinish stupidity cost me money and the lives of my friends, depress my property values, and lead to a hole in the downtown skyline, I get a bit weary of the usual shout-you-down, self-righteous crap.

We all choose our own routes to hell or heaven.
