AddReply(374028,"the arab occupiers","Leah","Maaleh Adumim","12/23/08","most of the arabs who now call themselves \"palestinian\" actually came to Israel (or their parents/grandparents did) in the 20th century, after the Jews returned to the land and made it livable in the 19th century.  \n\nvisitors to Israel in the 19th century and earlier described it as \"desolate\".  the population of eretz yisrael in the 19th century was low and getting lower until the Jews started to drain the malarial swamps and irrigate the desert.  then arabs started  to come in from neighboring countries, looking for work in Jewish farms & factories.\n\nJerusalem had a Jewish majority in the mid-19th century.  \n\nwe were here before the arabs in both ancient and modern times.\n\nthe arabs did not start to call themselves \"palestinian\" until the 1960\'s, when they decided to adopt that name in order to take our land from us.\n\n\nsee this article:  http://www.betar.co.uk/articles/betar1059307697.php");
