When Jews started buying land in the Israel area, there weren't very many Arabs and Moslems around.

It was only after the formation of Israel and in the late 20th century that the huge numbers were born, funded in large part by loads of valuable oil.

Google no doubt has the numbers somewhere.

I agree, it seems a dodgy move as a small black ant colony to decide to move in among hordes of red ants.

The silly "promised land" nonsense obviously gave them a dangerous superstitious idea. There is no "promised land". There is no deity giving them the word. Those who believe that are gullible, like those who believe Islamic Jihad's superstitions. Most people seem to be gullible and will follow the nearest leader who looks pretty tough, much like chickens imprint on the nearest moving thing as being Mum.

I suppose that's just another version of Stockholm Syndrome, but considered not just acceptable, or desirable, but obviously a good thing.
