Who lived in Israel/Palestine before the dissolution of the Ottoman

There has been a continuous presence of Jews and their ancestors in Israel since Biblical times.

During the Ottoman period they were a minority, with a fairly large community in Jerusalem.

Also for fear of giving an incorrect impression, Jewish migration to Israel really began in the late 19th century. The majority of Israeli Jews are descended from Sephardic and Mizrahi Jewish populations elsewhere in the Arab world and European Ashkenazi Jews. There were large minorities of Jews in most Arab countries at the beginning of the 19th century (ex: in Yemen), and these communities almost entirely vanished after emigrating to what would become Israel.

Arguments that the Palestinians are newcomers or that Arabs constituted a minority of Mandatory Palestine largely stem from a 1984 book called "From Time Immemorial" which was completely discredited by Norman Finkelstein.

Accurate demographic figures can be found from both British and Ottomon records and indicate that Jews numbered far fewer than Arab Muslims and Christians prior to the 20th century.
