Perhaps, if you count the occupying army. Not perhaps: for some time now ethnic Americans, Europeans, Moroccans and Russians have outnumbered Palestinians in Palestine.

Yeah. And the presence of Admiral De Grasse and the French fleet off Yorktown in 1781 shows that sponsoring lesser nationalist claims against a rival might not be a wholly innocent process. And the landing of Roger Casement from a German submarine on the Irish coast in 1916 shows that sponsoring lesser nationalist claims against a rival might not be a wholly innocent process. And the placement of Russian missiles in Cuba in 1962 shows that sponsoring lesser nationalist claims against a rival might not be a wholly innocent process, etc. etc.
