Fred, the Kuwaiti have implemented some of the most stringest citizenship laws in the world. You can be a citizen only if you can show an ancestral line, through the father line only, that lived in Kuwait prior to 1913. If the same citizenship laws applied to Palestinian, 80% of the current "Palestinians" would not qualify. It turns out that from 1880 to 1948, not only did the Jewish population in the area grow, but the availability of work due to the development of the country brought in huge number of Arab "migrant workers" that settled in. One Arab village near Jerusalem, where I used to have some friends, Abu Gosh, was formed very late in the 19th century by immigrants (non Jewish, actually Christian) that immigrated from Russia (Georgia, i was told) to find work.
