(p. 185) which was prepared by the British Mandate for the United Nations. Also note that the below table does account for the Palestinian emigration
out of Palestine as a result of the 1930s great depression, which was substantial
especially to south and central America.
And the below table clearly shows that natural growth accounted for 96% of the Palestinian Arab population increase (Survey of Palestine, p. 142).
AGAIN, please keep in mind that during the pre-Nakba period, many Palestinians left immigrated to Latin and South America, where there is still a very large Palestinian community. If you scroll little bit below, you will see how it David Ben-Gurion confirming such data a year before Nakba.
The previous tables' data, jives 100% with fertility data of the Palestinian population in the 1920 & 30s (Survey of Palestine, p. 704 - 705).
