A rudimentary fact sidestepped by those with little knowledge of history is that the geographic area called "Palestine" was the subject of an earlier invasion by Moslem hordes which was a part of the Ottoman Empire built upon dead bodies as a result of Islamist war, rapine and colonization.The most rudimentary fact is that before the European invasion starting in the mid 18oos, 99% of the people in Palestine were either Christian or Muslim. The Zionists were European colonists, they described themselves as such.
Appreciate the info however your specific accusation was that in the 1850s palestine was 99% Arab. But you forgot to mention that in the earlier part of that century were countless pogroms to drive out or kill the Judaic population.
Its kinda important if you are going to insinuate that the Judaic people had abandoned the area to mention that they were actually victims of vicious pogroms designed specifically to reduce or eliminate them completely from this area for the previous 30 or 40 years.
