At that time the Jewish citizenship was 5% or so.

Even when Israel was declared, the Jewish population was only about 1/3 and citizenship in Palestine was considerably less than that.

These numbers do not add up.

So what,
is this an argument against self determination of minorities?

Not at all. What would make you think that?

Then what difference does the percentage of Jews make?
Either you support self determination for minorities, or deny it by definition.

Palestine originated as a fictional Roman name imposed on Jews. Israel is palestine.

Who are the Palestinians? What are they doing? How do they live?

Who are the “palestinians“? Jews were originally called “palestinians,” by the British in the British Mandate, nicknamed “palestine,” an old Roman name imposed on Jews. These are Western terms, not Middle Eastern. Arabs began using them in the 1960s.

It didn't to the Palestinians. They wanted Palestinians to be Palestinians without religious designations.

Arabs historically viewed the country as Syria, Sham in Arabic. Not palestine, an old Roman name imposed on Jews, later Britain’s name for the British Mandate. They historically identified as Arabs or Syrians or Muslims, or as Ottoman nationals in the Ottoman Empire. They did not identify as palestinians until comparatively recently.

Is that why Arabs were represented by religious clergy?

They wanted an exclusive ethno-religious domination over the entire middle east.
And got humiliated by the smallest nation of former dhimmis.

The Palestinians do not like Trump's "steal of the century."

So?
