"In some cases villages in Palestine are populated wholly by settlers from other portions of the Turkish Empire within the nineteenth century. There are villages of Bosnians, Druzes, Circassians and Egyptians" (Parkes, Whose Land?, p. 212. See Chapters 13 and 14. )

The number of Circassians in Palestine in 1917 was over 150,000.

In 1878, an Ottoman law granted lands in Palestine to the Moslem refugees from Bosnia and Herzegovina in the Carmel region, in the Galilee and in the Plain of Sharon and in Caesarea. The refugees were further attracted by l2-year tax exemptions and exemption from military service. In just 10 years, over 100,000 Bosnians settled in Palestine, and the inflow of the immigrants from Bosnia started in 1878 never ended until the fall of the Ottoman Empire in 1917.

So, the number of Bosnians in Palestine was also about 150,000.
