The Story of the Partition: How Palestine Was Broken Apart by Power and Propaganda
In 1914, Jews made up less than X% of the population in Palestine, and most were recent immigrants fleeing antisemitic violence in Tsarist Russia, not native to the land (Palestine Remembered, n.d.-a). This foundational demographic reality makes what followed, Zionist partition demands, international manipulation, and eventual ethnic cleansing, even more grotesque.
By 1937, Jewish settlers remained a minority.
