Immigration: Government Reports
and Their Contradictions
While the "Jewish population" of Palestine was "predominantly immigrant in character," according to the 1931 census of Palestine the Muslims were assumed to be "the natural population" -- "Not quite two percent of the Moslem population are immigrants." By 1945, the Anglo-American Committee of Inquiry would report that, although the Jewish population had risen from 84,000 in 1922 to 554,000, and "three-fourths of this ... [Jewish] expansion was accounted for by immigration," the Arabs had increased "by a greater number" than the Jews.
"The expansion of the Arab community by natural increase has been in fact one of the most striking features of Palestine's social history," the report stated.] The same sponsor, in an earlier report, has assessed that "the speed with which the Moslems have followed Western patterns in reduction of mortality has been very remarkable, probably more than could be expected by any observer twenty years ago."
The Arabs allegedly were following the trends of improvements in the Jewish-settled areas and were "the gainers" from the Jews' higher health standards; [10] the death rate, which is central to determine the rate of natural population increase between 1922 and 1944, decreased proportionately, as would be expected, since standards improved as time passed. The Jews' death rate therefore was at its highest in 1922. Contradicting that logic, in the 1922-1944 period the death rate for the Arabs was reported at its lowest in 1922.[11] According to demographic experts, that phenomenon would have been incredible, considering the conditions in Palestine and the factors influencing the inhabitants at that time.
"The land in Palestine is lacking in people to till its fertile soil".
- British archaeologist Thomas Shaw, mid-1700s -
"Palestine is a ruined and desolate land".
- Count Constantine François Volney, XVIII century French author and historian -
"The country is in a considerable degree empty of inhabitants and therefore its greatest need is of a body of population".
- James Finn, British Consul in 1857 -

The Israelite haplotypes fall into Y-DNA haplogroups J and E.
Most of the Jews of today are a Jews who took a local Shiksas from the place that they lived in.
Most Ashkenazi MtDNA is European, due to Jewish men marrying local women.
32% K, 21% H, 10% N1b, and 7% J1.
Ashkenazim Jews (German and East Europe) - Israelite with in a smaller way, from European peoples such as Slavs and Khazars. The non-Israelite Y-DNA haplogroups include Q (typically Central Asian) and R1a1 (typically Eastern European).
Sephardim Jews (Spain and Portugal --------- North Africa, Balkans, South Romania, West Europe and Turkey) - Mainly Israelite with in a smaller way, from Berbers and North Europeans. The non-Israelite Y-DNA haplogroups include EU18 (typically North European).
Mustaravim Jews (Egypt, Levant, Iraq and Iran) - Mainly Israelite.
Libyan Jews - Mainly Berbers, but also an Israelites.
Yemenitie Jews - Are a mix of Himyars and Israelites.
Etiopian Jews - Modern scholars of Ethiopian history and Ethiopian Jews generally support one of two conflicting hypotheses, as outlined by Steven Kaplan:
A late ethnogenesis of the Beta Israel between the 14th to 16th Centuries, from a sect of Ethiopian Christians who took on Biblical practices, and came to see themselves as Jews. Steven Kaplan lists himself along with G.J. Abbink, Kay K. Shelemay, Taddesse Tamrat and James A. Quirin as supporters of this hypothesis. Quirin differs from his fellow researchers in the weight he assigns to an ancient Jewish element that the Beta Israel have conserved.
An ancient Jewish origin of the Beta Israel, as well as some ancient Jewish traditions later conserved by the Ethiopian Church. Steven Kaplan lists Simon D. Messing, David Shlush, Michael Corinaldi, Menachem Waldman, Menachem Elon and David Kessler as supporters of this hypothesis.
Examples of worlwide Jewish connection:
Haplogroup Eu10 / J1 (Y-NDA) which is South Middle Eastern haplogroup:
Bedouins 62.5%, Palestinians 38.4%, Syrians 30%, Lebanese 16.1%, Kurds 11.6%, Turks ~3.3%, Sephardi Jews 12.8%, Ashkenazi Jews 19%, Germans ~0%, Poles ~0%, Ukrainians ~0%.
Haplogroup Eu9 / J2 (Y-NDA) which is North Middle Eastern haplogroup:
Bedouins 0.31%, Palestinians 16.8%, Syrians 15%, Lebanese 29%, Kurds 28.4%, Turks 40%, Sephardi Jews 15.4%, Ashkenazi Jews 24%, Germans ~0%, Poles ~0%, Ukrainians ~6%.
Haplogroup HG21 / Eu3 / E3b (Y-NDA) which is Middle Eastern-North African haplogroup:
North Africans up to 77%, Bedouins 18.7%, Palestinians 20.3%, Kurds 0.74%, Kurdish Jews 12.1%, Sephardi Jews 19.2%, Ashkenazi Jews 22.8%, Poles 2%, Ukrainians 4%.
