Maybe I'm not clear but it doesn't matter.

You already agreed on "Israel was a desert" and that the inhabitants were Bedouins. Now that's exactly the myth I'm talking. Bedouins are recognized by their nomadic lifestyles. They live in small groups. From the 750.000 inhabitants in 1922 only a small percentage was Bedouin. Yes, the people living there were very poor. "Why don't you fuck-off to your neighbouring Arab countries", "this is our land, God gave it to us", that was what a large part of the new settlers thought.
