Jews ask: may we be granted a nakba, too?
Between 1945 and 2006, worldwide Jewish population grew by 32%. Worldwide non-Jewish Palestinian population multiplied more than 7 times (growth by 676%). Detailed figures appear in the table below.
In view of those figures, it should be asked why were the Palestinians favored by having a nakba.
| Year | Jews | Palestinians |
| 1922 | 668 000 | |
| 1931 | 861 000 | |
| 1939 | 17 000 000 | |
| 1945 | 11 000 000 | 1 211 000 |
| 2006 | 14 600 000 | 9 400 000 |
Before 1948, Jews living in Palestine were usually considered to be Palestinians. However, the Palestinian population figures in the above table exclude those Jews.
