In 1896, Palestine, then under Ottoman rule, had a population comprised mainly of Muslims, with significant minorities of Christians and Jews. A census from that year indicated 371,959 Muslims, 42,689 Christians, and 9,000 Jews. However, these numbers are likely underestimates, as they don't account for Bedouins, individuals with foreign citizenship, or those evading census counts. It's estimated the true population could be closer to 500,000, with Jerusalem having a higher proportion of Jews due to immigration and charitable trusts.

Distribution in Jerusalem was about 50/50 at the time living peacefully together.

UK occupation promoted Zionist migration to the area, the European Jews are the immigrants. 

And it is Israel's far right Zionist policies (not the Jews) that don't let anyone out of Gaza since the total blockade since 2005. Even aid groups that want to medivac Palestinians get denied.

Surrounding nations already have tons of Palestinian refugees driven out by Israel over the past 77 years.

Saying how many are terrorist is pure racist. Hamas fighters number 20 to 30 thousand out of 2.1 million people, including all that fired rockets during oct 7, estimated 7,000 of those participated in the attack. A large scale attack as a last resort after all non violent options (like the Gaza border protests 2018-2019) didn't lead anywhere. That doesn't excuse the terrorist attack, for which the ICC rightly issued 3 arrest warrants against Hamas leaders.

Besides all that nearly half of Gaza's population are children. 

Enough with your racism and dehumanization of an entire population, you are part of the problem.

As always true with the world, a few bad apples spoil the bunch, and so the palestenians aren't known for their culture.  They are known for blowing stuff up and firing AK's with the A-lalalalallllaallalal stuff.   If they wanted to change this, then it would be a great idea to tone down the violence.   

20 or 30, 000?  I would call that many.  So, yes, my statement that many know how to use an AK isn't wrong/racists.  

The IDF has about 170K active personel and nearly half million reservists. Service in the IDF is mandatory in Israel, nearly everyone is trained to terrorize Palestinians. 

And they are terrorists, posting their war crimes online. (Making it easy for the Hind Rijab foundation to routinely present countries with evidence against spotted IDF terrorists)

Training in the IDF consists of teaching Israelis how to terrorize Palestinians.

That's all before Oct 7 2023.

And has been going on since the Lehi and Irgun were formed (and later folded into the IDF)

Israel has always been the aggressor while taking more and more land.
