If you can prove that the population growth was due to immigration and not birth, please do so. It looks like normal population growth to me.

400,000 to 600,000 in 25 years is a rather sharp population growth CB, for a population that was still mostly living in rather primitive conditions without modern hygiene or medicine.

Since neither the British or the Ottomans counting Arab immigrants into Palestine, the evidence for large immigration is mostly anecdotal, but it's there. Nor are the reasons for it hard to find - economic development in Palestine was making jobs available that simply didn't exist in other parts of Syria or Egypt. There are many stories of Arab farmers letting their farms to a tenant, and going to work for the Jews, since it paid better.
