Submitted by slayhy (United Arab Emirates), Dec 25, 2011 at 02:42

We know from very early times of 1900s that Encyclopae Britannica is biased towards the Jews, and the articles probable were written by Jews

for your information

In 1870 there was 370,000 Arab Palestinians (Jews, Christians and Muslims) and 7,000 Zionists (in settlements sponsored by Russia)

1918 after Britain colonized Palestine there was 600,000 Palestinian compare to 80,000 Zionists secretly sneaked until 1948 by the help of the British forces in Palestine.

in 1948 there was 1.4 million unarmed Palestinians compared to 650,000 Zionists (mostly non-Semitic or of Arabic origins)

1949 after the declaration of the new Zionist state there was only 450,000 Palestinian compare to 1.5 million Zionist settlers - notice the numbers before 1948 and after in 1949

Most Palestinians were farmers cultivating the land

gypsies and nomands as you mention and you give large portion of your comment did not constitute mere 5% of the total population the rest were attending to their lands until today. lived in villages and towns that were destroyed in 1948

As the Jews were called Jews pertaining to the Kingdom of Judah, as the English are called English pertaining to England and as the American called American pertaining to America, also the Palestinian called Palestinian pertaining to Palestine that is mentioned through centuries of Roman, Byzantine and Islamic rule
