If you believe Wikipedia’s Palestinian population figures [0] - 3.19 million in West Bank, 2.17 million in Gaza, 2.037 million in Israel proper - that adds up to 7.397 million. Wikipedia gives a total population of 14.3 million worldwide. 7.397/14.3 = 51.7%. So a majority of Palestinians still reside in Israel/Palestine today.

To "a large majority expelled (from the current Israel) in 1948" you replied with the *current* number of Palestinians in Israel, the West Bank and Gaza?
