The history of Palestine? is the first world war far enough back, or shall I start with the big bang?

Under the British mandate following the first world war, there was widespread jewish immigration to some areas of Palestine. There was only one reliable census taken, in 1931. All the others are less certain, so most figures cannot be taken as exactly accurate.

Areas of Jewish settlement had a growth rate of 157% in Arab population between 1931 and 1945, while in those with few or no Jewish settlers, the mean growth rate of Palestinian Arab population was 127%. Overall, the mean growth rate of Palestinian Arab population was 142% from 1931 to 1945. The urban areas Haifa had the highest growth rate, probably due to British port activity. There was a shift in population from the south and urban centers to the North. and Jerusalem, Ramla and Tulkarm had the highest growth rates.

So this is the Zionist plan to drive the Palastinians out?
