2. מי בנה את כנסת ישראל החדשה ולמי יש לשכה סודית בכנסת ישראל??

מידע לציבור לראשונה ואני מקווה שמידע זה לא יצונזר:

הצהרת בלפור כיבוש הארץ בידי האנגלים ב- 2 בנובמבר 1917 הגיע לידי הלורד רוטשילד באנגליה מכתב משר החוץ הבריטי, ג'יימס בלפור. במכתב זה, שנודע לימים כ"הצהרת בלפור", נאמר:
משרד החוץ 2 בנובמבר 1917

לורד רוטשילד היקר,

בעונג רב הריני מוסר לך, בשם ממשלת הוד מלכותו, הצהרת אהדה לשאיפות היהודיות הציוניות, שהוגשה לקבינט ואושרה על ידו: "ממשלת הוד מלכותו תראה בעין יפה את הקמתו של בית לאומי לעם היהודי בארץ-ישראל ותעשה כל מאמץ כדי לקדם השגת מטרה זו; עם זאת מובן היטב שלא ייעשה דבר העלול לפגוע בזכויותיהן האזרחיות והדתיות של העדות הלא יהודיות הקיימות בארץ-ישראל או בזכויות ובמעמד המדיני שנהנים מהם יהודים במדינות אחרות". אכיר לך תודה אם תביא הצהרה זו לידיעת הפדרציה הציונית שלך בכנות ארטור ג'יימס בלפור

Encyclopedia Britannica 11th edition 1910-1911 describe the situation on that time , when the "Palestinian nation" was not made yet. That eddition , as well as the 1887 eddition , represents also a map of the Land of Israel when the different zones appear with their Jewish names : Judea , Sammaria , Galilee .

The article:

PALESTINE: A Geographical area of rather loose applications. ....
POLITICAL DIVISION - Under the Ottaman jurisdiction Palestine has no independent existence. West of the Jordan, and to about half-way between Nablus and Jerusalem, is the southern portion of Vortianof the Vilager province of Beirut...
POPULATION. - The inhabitants of Palestine are composed of a large number of elements, differing widely in ethnological affinities, language and religion. It may be interesting to mention, as an illustration of their heterogeneousness, that early in the 20th century a list of no less than fifty languages, spoken in Jerusalem as vernaculars, was there drawn up by a party of men whose various official positions enabled them to possess accurate information on the subject (1). It is therefore no easy task to write concisely and at the same time with sufficient fullness on the ethnology of Palestine.
There are two classes into which the population of Palestine can be divided-the nomadic and the sedentary.
The former is especially characteristic of Eastern Palestine, though Western Palestine also contains its full share. The pure Arab origin of the Bedouins is recognized in common conversation in the country, the word "Arab" being almost restricted to denote these wanderers, and seldom applied to the dwellers in towns and villages. It should be mentioned that there is another, entirely independent, nomad race, the despised Nowar, who correspond to the GIPSIES or tinkers of European countries. These people live under the poorest conditions, by doing smith's contaminated with Arabic in its vocabulary.
The sedentary population of the country villages-the fellahin or agriculturists-is, on the whole,
comparatively unmixed; is by no means unreasonable to suppose that there is a fundamental Canaanite element in this population: the "hewers through successive occupations of a land; and there is a remarkable correspondence of type between many of the modern fellahin and skeletons of ancient inhabitants which have been recovered in the course of excavation. New elements no doubt came in under the Assyrian, Persian and Roman dominations, and in more recent times there has been much contamination. The spread of Islam introduced a very considerable Neo-Arabian infusion. Those from southern Arabian were known as the YAMMAN
tribe, those from northern Arabia the Kais (Qais). These two divisions absorbed the previous peasant population, and still nominally exist; down to the middle of the 19th century they were a fruitful source of quarrels and of bloodshed. The minor divisions are also being gradually broken down.
In the 19th century the short-lived EGYPTIAN government introduced persists in the villages. These newcomers have not been completely assimilated with the villagers among whom they have found a home; the latter despise them, and discourage intermarriage.
Some of the larger villages-notably Bethlehem-which have always been leavened by Christianity, and with the development of industry have become comparatively prosperous, show angible results of these happier circumstances in a higher standard of physique among the men and of personal appearance among the women. It is not uncommon in popular writings to attribute his superiority to a crusader strain - a theory which no one can possibly countenance who knows what miserable degenerates the half-breed descendants of the crusaders rapidly became, as a result of their immoral life and their ignorance of the sanitary precautions necessary in atrying climate.
The population of the larger towns is of a much more complex nature. In each there is primarily a large Arab element, consisting for the greater part of members of important and wealthy families. Thus, in Jerusalem, much of the local influences is in the hands of the families of El-Khalidi, El-Husseine and one or two others, who derive their descent from the heroes of the early days of Islam. The Turkish element is small, consisting exclusively of officials sent individually from Constantinople. There are very large contingents from the Mediterranean countries, especially Armenia, Greece and Italy, principally engaged in trade. The extraordinary development of Jewish colonization has since 1870 effected a revolution in the balance of population in some parts of the country, notably in Jerusalem. There are few residents in the country from the more eastern parts of Asia-if we except the TURKOMAN settlements in the Jaulan, a number of PERSIANS, and a fairly large AAFGHAN colony that since 1905 has established itself in Jaffa. The MUTAWILE (Motawila), who from the majority of the inhabitants of the villages north-west of Galilee, are probably long-settled immigrants from PERSIA. Some tribes of KURDS live in tents and buts near Lake Huleh. If the inmates of the countless monastic establishments be excluded, comparatively few "Templar" colonies being perhaps the most important. There must also be mentioned a BOSNIAN colony established at Caesarea Palestina, and the CIRCASSIAN settlements placed in certain centers of Eastern Palestine by the Turkish government in order to keep a restraint on the Bedouin: the latter are also found in Galilee. There was formerly a large SUDANESE and ALGERIAN element in the population of some of the large towns, but these have been much reduced in numbers since the beginning of the 20th century: the Algerians however still maintain themselves in parts of Galilee. The most interesting of the non-Arab communities in the country, however, is without doubt the Samaritan sect in Nablus (Shechem), a gradually disappearing body, which has maintained an independent existence from the time were first settled by the Assyrians to occupy the land left waste by the captivity of the kingdom of Israel. The total population of the country is roughly estimated at 650,000, but no authentic official census exists from which satisfactory information on this point is obtainable. Some two-thirds of this number are Moslems, the rest Christians of various sects, and Jews. The largest town in Palestine is Jerusalem, estimated to contain a population of about 60,000. The other towns of above 10,000 inhabitants are Jaffa (45,000), Gaza (35,000), Safed (30,000), Nablus (25,000), Kerak (20,000), Hebron (18,500), Es-Salt (15,000), Acre (11,000, Nazareth (11,000).The above remarks apply to the permanent population. They would be incomplete without a passing word on the non-permanent elements which at certain seasons of the year are in the principal centers the most conspicuous. Especially in winter and early spring crowds of European and American tourists, Russian pilgrims and Bokharan devotees jostle one another in the streets in picturesque incongruity. (1) This list was intentionally made as exhaustive as possible and included some languages (such as Welsh) spoken by one or two individual residents only. But even if by omitting these accidental items, the list be reduced to thirty, a sufficient number will be left to indicate the cosmopolitan character of the city.

There where about 450 000 Moslems on 1910 on both parts of The Land of Israel (Palestine): the east side ( Now Jordan) and the west side.
The huge immigration of Non-Jews, mainly from Syria, to the Land of Israel continued till 1948 when many of them returned to their homelands or moved to otherlands. Hence the numbers of 2-4 millions "Palestinians" (Non - Jews , they or their father or grandfather lieved at Western Land-of-Israel - Western Palestine - somtime during the 20 century).
