Jewish dominance in Israel is pretty well documented from the United Kingdom through the Roman expulsion after the Bar Kochba revolt. Jewish presence resumed in Jerusalem after the Arabs (not the Canaanites who were long gone by then) grabed it from the Byzantines. There were about 300,000 Jews in the area until they were slaughtered in the Crusades. Under the Ottomons, the whole area became dismally underpopulated, and by about 1800, the entire populations of Jerusalem was about 3,000.
