Emigrated from where?After the advent of Zionism, hundreds of thousands of Arabs moved into the area from surrounding lands.
Most of the so- called "palestinians are descended from these immigrants.
In the 1890 Ottoman Census, they counted 432K Muslims, but only 43K Jews. (also, 57K Christians)
In the 1914 census, the numbers changed to 525K Muslims, 94K Jews, and 71K Christians.
Seems to me the Jews were the ones doing the immigrating, not the Muslims.
