This is a well established fact - available to anyone willing to do
the primary research. The majority of landowners in Palestine were in
Damascus and Cairo and were more than happy to sell which they
considered useless land to these comparitively wealthly Europeans.

As a side note the Arab population in Palestine at the turn of the
century was ~150,000. This swelled to around 2 million by 1940 as
individuals from other Arab states flooded in to take advantage of the
op****tunities created by European Jewish economic activities.
