No one says that the Jews are a pure race, and I have already pointed out sufficient data to demonstrate that the charge of ethnic cleansing is false. The World Book Encyclopedia places the number of Jews in Palestine in 1914 at 85, 000, about 15% of the population. Others have argued that the influx of Arabs into the area was also recent, and that the population in the late 19th century was about even, but no matter, the main point is that there were not "60 Jews", and that the number of Jews increased through legal immigration under the mandatory authority. Since about 17% of the population of Israel is composed of Arabs citizens, your "ethnic cleansing" charge is false.
