I said that it was sparsely populated pretty much until the 20th century, which is the significant period addressed. I did not say that it was sparsely populated at the time of the major influx of Zionist pioneers.

The question has to do with historical depth of occupation. In other words, if most of the population came into the territory towards the end of Ottoman rule and during the Mandate, the claim to an historic homeland is pretty weak. However, I have decided that the claim that the population increase was a matter of illegal immigration rather than natural increase is too speculative to put forward, so the issue is moot, anyway.......
