I did not say that the land was almost uninhabited----- in 1920. I implied that it was almost uninhabited at the beginning of the 19th century, and said that many Arabs came towards the beginning of the 20th century and thereafter.

There was no discrete national culture or history for a place called Palestine, it was a mere geographical designation. The Arabs there were not especially attached to it as a discrete entity before the War, but considered themselves to be Syrians, for the most part.

You are, of course, wrong, the Romans threw the Jews out, and destroyed the Second Temple.
