Population
The Ottoman's 1878 census of the Jerusalem, Nablus, and Acre disticts (including area not currently in Israel) was 403,795 Muslims (87.3%), 43,659 Christians (9.4%), 15,011 Jews (3.2%); however, this did not count at least 10,000 Jews with foreign citizenship, did not include Bedouins. A 1912 estimate puts the Jewish population at 40,000 (7.0%), but other estimates are higher.
Unless specified, the figures below are for the Jewish population in Palestine, based on various sources.
1922: 11.14% Jewish (83,790), 9.50% Christian, 78.34% Moslem.

Suggested Readings
The following titles were recommended in the videotape:
Beshara Doumani, Rediscovering Palestine: Merchants and Peasants in Jabal Nablus, 1700-1900 (1995, University of California Press, paperback)
Charles D. Smith, Palestine and the Arab-Israeli Conflict (4th edition, 2001, Bedford/St. Martin's, paperback)
Alexander Scholch, Palestine in Transformation, 1856-1882: Studies in Social, Economic and Political Development (1993, Institute for Palestine Studies)

Rashid Khalidi, Palestinian Identity (1998, Columbia University Press, paperback)
Doumani also referred to unspecified books by Ilan Pappe, Avi Shlaim, and Benny Morris. The following are useful books that we are familiar with and recommend:
Tom Segev, One Palestine Complete: Jews and Arabs Under the British Mandate (2001, Owl Books, paperback)
Benny Morris, Righteous Victims: A History of the Zionist-Arab Conflict, 1881-2001 (2001, Vintage Books, paperback)
