"native Palestinians"--The antidote to this lie is here: https://medium.com/lessons-from-history/israel-vs-palestine-which-side-needs-delusion-demolition-99a0ebfefd25

Read Mark Twain's Innocents Abroad to see how empty this Ottoman province, not named Palestine was before Jewish immigration and investment brought an exponential increase in the Arab population.

"As Hussein foresaw, the regeneration of Palestine, and the growth of its population, came only after Jews returned in massive numbers. The Jewish population increased by 470,000 between World War I and World War II while the non-Jewish population rose by 588,000. In fact, the permanent Arab population increased 120 percent between 1922 and 1947 to more than 1.3 million. This rapid growth was a result of several factors. One was immigration from neighboring states - constituting 37 percent of the total immigration to pre-state Israel - by Arabs who wanted to take advantage of the higher standard of living the Jews had made possible. "

"The Arab population shows a remarkable increase ….. partly due to the import of Jewish capital into Palestine and other factors associated with the growth of the [Jewish] National Home.." (The Peel Commission Report - 1937)

Endless Palestinians names show their country of origin, like Al Baghdadi (from Baghdad), Masarwi - from Misr (Egypt), Mughrabi - from Maghreb (Morocco), Halabi - From Hhalab (Aleppo, Syria)."

Myth: Britain as agent of Jewish colonization. Fact: the British facilitated Arab colonization of Palestine through illegal immigration into mandatory Palestine while giving 78% of it east of the Jordan to the Arabs in 1922. The Arabs had no problem with this first partition that installed an Arabian peninsula Hashemite tribal chieftain on a British-created throne.
