David the numbers are incorrect. It does not account for the Jews IN Tzfat, Tiberias, Hebron or even Yaffa and other places, were another 10,000 to 20,000 Jews lived, not to mention neighboring cities as Alexandria in Egypt and other cities in what is now Lebanon and Syria.

Further in the calculation one must substract the contingent Turkish Army and their families and the Turkish bureaucrats which counted for an additional 20,000 to 40,000. It is important to remember Turks are not Arabs.

The Arab population at the time was not more but less than that of the Christians and Jews combined.

There are no hard statistics that we can relay on but since ancient times what is now part of Lebanon, Jordan, Israel and Sinai Peninsula were transitory territory sparsely populated and a confrontation point between the two populated areas of the Nile valley and the Euphrates and Tigris rivers.
