This Max Headroom of the Middle-East conflict is an expert of Zionist history, its implications, heritage, origin and historic base.
He claims.
Within 50 seconds he drops in all confidence that the Jews always were the majority in Jerusalem being confident like an Orthodox quoting the 10 commandments in his Talmud School on a Friday night.

### 📜 Key Context & Notes:
1. **Ottoman Era (1517–1917)**:
- Early records derived from Ottoman tax registers (*tahrir*), counting adult male taxpayers. Total population estimates include extrapolations .
- 19th-century conflicts: Discrepancies in sources (e.g., 1838–1876) reflect inconsistent census methods and geopolitical biases. Jewish majority likely solidified by 1864 due to migration from Eastern Europe and Ottoman reforms .
2. **British Mandate (1917–1948)**:
- 1946 data reflects post-Holocaust immigration despite British quotas. Population dip in 1918 due to WWI famine/disease .
3. **Divided City (1948–1967)**:
- Jordan expelled all Jews from East Jerusalem and destroyed synagogues. Only West Jerusalem had a Jewish majority .
4. **Post-1967 Reunification**:
- Jewish growth driven by Israeli state policy, Soviet Jewish immigration (1990s), and settlement expansion. Declining percentage since 2000 attributed to higher Muslim birth rates .
