Few among the general public know that Jews were only a few percent of the population of the area now controlled by Israel for centuries and into the late 1800s. A lot of people incorrectly assume that the land now controlled by Israel has always had a large Jewish population, which is not the case. The history there is similar to what happened in what is now the U.S. and Northern Ireland. Foreigners show up to a land uninvited by the native population and kill/subdue the native population and take over the place for themselves.
