    Might have something to do with nationality. It could be that until 1967, Palestinians in the West Bank were regarded as Jordanians. Dunno.

    There is a sharp rise during the Libanon war, so that's possibe. But overall it looks pretty consistant

    Who are you arguing against, frags? Who has claimed the palestinian population is declining? The post you replied to was about land, not people.
    Still maintain that crying on the pitch should warrant a 3 match ban

    Israel doesn't want to integrate the Palestinians into a Greater Israel, nor does it want them to have their own state. This only leaves one other strategic goal they can have - to have a Greater Israel without any Palestinians in it. The behaviour and policy so far would also be consistent with this.

    Not so consistant. The ethnic cleansing that is hinted at has this unique quality of populations decreasing, in great contrast with populations growing. Also the Palestinians who live in Israel are thriving, weirdest ethnic cleansing ever.

    Thriving? Very much second class citizens alas.
