	Alternative Palestinian Agenda - Peace Initiative
		The demographic crisis in the Gaza Strip is a direct consequence of the displacement of Palestinians in 1948 with the establishment of the state of Israel.
		The demographic crisis in Gaza is to a great extent related to the refugee problem since two thirds of the Palestinian population in the Gaza Strip are refugees.
		The Israeli population is concentrated along the Harud Valley at the southern edge of the plateau and along the Jordan River at the eastern edge of the plateau.

		The state of northern Ireland is the exact same as Palestine a mass expsermension of on ethnic group so it can be replaced with a another and a fictional country created and people live the lie for so long the believe in it.
		The issue is that it is not a translation of "Palestine", since it comes with additional political/theological connotations, and there exists a perfectly functional Hebrew word ("Palestina") which comes without this additional meaning.

	Palestine - The Peace Encyclopedia
		Palestine was never an exclusively Arab country, although Arabic gradually became the language of most the population after the Muslim invasions of the seventh century.
		The meaning of this message is clear: Palestine is a country that belonged to the Palestinians until it was invaded and usurped by the Jews.
		Palestine also witnessed, as a land bridge linking Asia, Africa, and Europe, several movements and waves of conquerors who dominated it for different periods of time and left behind varying degrees of influence.

		Jewish claims to this land are based on the biblical promise to Abraham and his descendants, on the fact that this was the historical site of the Jewish kingdom of Israel (which was destroyed by the Roman Empire), and on Jews' need for a haven from European anti-Semitism.
		Palestine seemed the logical and optimal place, since this was the site of Jewish origin.

		Some authorities consider all residents of Palestine to be "Palestinians", while others consider the term to apply only to Palestinian Arabs (see Definitions of Palestine and Palestinians).
		The Palestinian National Covenant, as revised by the Palestine Liberation Organization in 1968, defines Palestinians as those Arab citizens who were living normally in Palestine up to 1947, and all their descendants through the male line.
		Increasing conversions to Islam among the local population, together with the immigration of Arabs from Arabia and inland Syria, led to the replacement of Aramaic by Arabic as the area's dominant language.

	Anti-Demographics
		The "demographic" argument for unilateral withdrawal from Yehuda, Shomron and Gaza (YESHA), and even some Israeli Arab towns as well is basically this: the Arab population is increasing rapidly; sooner or later they will outnumber the Jews: it's a 'time-bomb' that can and must be defused.
		Moreover, withdrawal from Yesha does not deal with the "demographic threat" from Israeli Arab and Bedouin populations in the Galilee and Negev.
		The "demographic" argument is but a thinly veiled support for unilateral retreat, forced "transfer" of Jews (only) from their homes and the creation of a terror-based Palestinian state.

	The Demographics Of Palestine In 1918
		Palestine's Jewish population throughout those centuries was tiny, perhaps less than 5%.
		Pursuantly to the declaration, President Woodrow Wilson sent Henry Churchill King and Charles R. Crane in 1918 to the Levant, today known as Lebanon, Syria and Israel, to investigate the attitude of the people then resident in the area towards the possibility of the establishment of a Zionist state there.
		The report further clarifies that both Muslims and Christians, or somewhere between 80% and 90% of the people of Palestine, were emphatically and almost unanimously opposed to the erection of a Zionist state in Palestine, while Jews were enthusiastically in favor.

		Demographic shifts over the last two decades have left a bulk of the citizens of the city unemployed, underemployed, or neglected.
		Most important, the demographic transition from high fertility to low fertility is delayed or blocked altogether.
		Poor households continue to have six or seven children because the woman’s role is seen mainly as child rearing, and her lack of education means that she has few options in the labor force (emphasis added)”.

	Palestine in Focus (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		A key pillar of Zionism is that the land of Palestine belongs to the Jews owing to the existence of a glorious Israelite kingdom in days gone by, a kingdom ended by mass forcible exile.
		Iron Age settlements excavated on the central hills of Palestine, from which the later kingdom of Israel developed, show no signs of the arrival of an incoming conquering ethnic group that dispelled all people indigenous to the land to build its own kingdom.
		A central tenet of Zionism is that divine Scripture justifies confiscation of Palestinian Arab land and expulsion of the non-Jewish native population.

	Population Statistics / Demographics of Israel-Palestine - Israeli-Palestinian ProCon.org
		As Ami Isseroff, Director of the MidEastWeb, notes "the Zionist claim that Palestine was 'a land without a people' is challenged by pro Palestinian historians who cite census figures showing a substantial Palestinian-Arab population by 1914.
		After 1967, demographics influenced settlement policy (especially in East Jerusalem), and during the 1990s it determined the areas to be turned over to the Palestinian Authority.
		Demographics will likely play a role in any future peace talks and is currently a part of Sharon's motivation to withdraw from the Gaza Strip.

	Palestine/Israel
		“Mandate Palestine” refers to the geographic area called “Palestine” during the British mandate, that is, land from the Mediterranean Sea to the Jordan River.
		Because of Palestine’s small size, and because movement to, from, and within Palestine would be controlled—or could easily be controlled—by Israel, Palestinians are likely to feel imprisoned and harassed.
		Israel’s recruitment of Jews to Israel for demographic purposes would no longer be necessary, because Israel would have 50 percent of the power regardless of the size of its population.

	Middle East : Israel & Palestine
		The third wartime agreement, the Balfour Declaration of 1917, was a statement that the British government viewed "with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national Home for the Jewish People,..., it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine".
		The demographics of Palestine began to change dramatically in the 1920’s and 1930’s as there was increased immigration of European Jews into the mandate.
		There was constant pressure to allow increased Jewish immigration into Palestine but this was difficult because it was realized that this went against the interests of the Palestinians.

		Such an examination demonstrates that Jewish settlement in Palestine did not amount to the sudden disruption that Husayni and others claim, since there was no continuous national history or uniform population to disrupt.
		In this light, it is clear that the two main tenets of the myth of Jewish “colonialism“ — that Zionism uprooted a long-established nation and led to its uniform exploitation — are ideologically motivated distortions.
		The immigration of Jews to Palestine was thus done both legally and ethically.

		A Nakba committed by the Zionists thinking that the expulsion of the Palestinian people from their villages, towns, and land, meant they would disappear from existence, or roam aimlessly around the corners of the world, and that the relationship of the Palestinians with their land would be ended.
		Moreover, that the Palestinians were no danger to the existence of Israel, that the process of unilateral break-off was a necessity from the demographic standpoint, and that there was no need for Jews to remain in the Gaza Strip.
		The Zionist entity depended on its demographic growth on migrations from western countries and the former Soviet Union, while the Palestinian society achieved its rise through natural growth and births.

	PA Demographics - Introduction
		The assumption that Arabs in the West Bank and Gaza pose a demographic threat to Israel has to be radically revised.
		The million-and-a-half person gap occurred because the PA numbers are based on Palestine Bureau of Statistics (PBS) 1997 projections, not on actual population counts.
		The PBS used the PA’s official 1997 census as a base population and assumed the population would grow at 4 to 5% a year, one of the highest growth rates in the world.

	A Palestinian Historical Choice, Not a Last Resort
		For Palestinians, Palestine is not a collection of lost real estate properties, but rather the sight of fusion of Palestinian identity in its land and its history.
		Its presence in the remainder of historic Palestine will continue to be challenged by Palestinians and the peoples of the region because such a presence entails the exclusion of Palestinians from their historic homeland in what would remain Israel.
		To continue to view this population as a foreign colonialist presence is in effect holding this population hostage to history and the injustices Palestinians suffered in the process of establishing the state of Israel in Palestine.

		For a long time demographers estimated that by 2010 the number of Christian and Muslim Palestinians would exceed the number of Jews living in Palestine.
		Particularly revealing was the reaction of Israeli authorities to an East Jerusalem census by Palestinian demographers inlate 1997.
		The reason for the persistent increase in the percentages of Palestinians living in all parts of the former mandate of Palestine is the considerably higher Palestinian birthrate.

		This has led commentators such as David Landau, editor of the English-language edition of the newspaper Ha'aretz, to warn of a 'cataclysmic' demographic challenge if Israel is to retain its identity as a Jewish democratic state.
		The growing sense of panic among Israelis over the demographic time bomb underscores the bitter divisions that are increasingly emerging in Israeli society.
		Of all the cases for the future of Israel and the Occupied Territories, the argument of the hardliners that Jews should govern the entire 'historic' land of Israel is the one that would bring the moment of crisis closest.

	If It's Against Jewish Law, Then Why Is Israel Doing It?
		The Jewish National Fund for Israel is a quasi-official Israeli state organization, founded in the early twentieth century to acquire land in Palestine for the Zionist movement.
		Although the JNF's basic mission has since its founding been to change the demographics of Palestine, replacing non-Jews with Jews in as many areas as possible, it markets itself in the United States as a sort of gentle Israeli companion to the Audubon Society, or Friends of the Earth.
		Nowhere on its website or in its fundraising literature does the JNF mention that, in fact, Israel has engaged in the massive, systematic destruction of Palestinian fruit-bearing trees, all over the occupied territories, and in parts of Palestine in which Israel was established in 1948.
