1. How many Hindus immigrated to India starting around 1880? Compare the numbers to those here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographic_history_of_Palestine_(region)

2. I like Wikipedia because the footnotes make it easy to verify the information. I like that link, especially for this:

"The reasons for the exoduses are manifold, including pull factors, such as the desire to fulfill Zionist yearnings or find a better economic status and a secure home in Europe or the Americas and, in Israel, a policy change in favour of mass immigration focused on Jews from Arab and Muslim countries,[16] together with push factors, such as persecution / antisemitism, political instability,[17] poverty[17] and expulsion. The history of the exodus has been politicized, given its proposed relevance to the historical narrative of the Arab–Israeli conflict.[18][19] When presenting the history, those who view the Jewish exodus as analogous to the 1948 Palestinian exodus generally emphasize the push factors and consider those who left as refugees, while those who do not, emphasize the pull factors and consider them willing immigrants."

It is tragic that the expulsion of the Palestinians from land Israel claimed resulted in some Muslim states playing tit for tat.

3. We agree war is unfortunate. That does not mean people are justified in claiming territory after a war. The UN borders were clear. Many Zionists announced before the war began that they intended to ethnically cleanse the land, and Deir Yassin showed they were serious about that. I continue to think it significant that Jews and Muslims lived in peace in Palestine until 1920, when the European immigrants became a major presence—the Jewish population of Palestine doubled between 1890 and 1920, unlike the Christian and Muslim populations.
