Post a map showing the size of the jewish people in Palestine 1948 compared to today.
I double dog dare you.
Slime your way in and massive expansion.
Am I right?

In 1948, at the time of independence, there were about 650,000 Jews living in the land. That community already had schools, hospitals, cities, farms, and its own governing bodies.
Today, there are about 7.2 million Jews in Israel. That growth didn’t come from sliming in or expansion, it came from two main sources:
Refugees- roughly 800,000 Jews were expelled or fled from Arab and Muslim countries after 1948 and were absorbed by Israel.
Natural growth and immigration: Holocaust survivors, Soviet Jews, Ethiopian Jews, and others who returned to their ancestral homeland, plus normal population growth over 77 years.
The numbers expanded massively, but not by sneaking in, by surviving persecution, returning home, and building a functioning state that could absorb them.
