1896 video shows Jewish majority in Jerusalem
The very first movie made in Jerusalem, in 1896, shows that Jews were a majority in the city even then. In fact, they were about 60% of the population.Let's go to the videotape (Hat Tip: The Other News).
Those of you with fluent Hebrew may have noticed that the subtitles in this video were not particularly accurate. Nevertheless, the point remains: The city had a substantial Jewish population - around 60% - 115 years ago.
