I want to know the answer to the following question:
Prior to 1948, how many Jews were living in lands which now make up the Arab world (excluding Israel)?
All the background I'm provided with is that "Lebanon was the only Arab country to see a temporary increase in its Jewish population during this period, due to an influx of refugees from other Arab countries, although by the mid-1970s the Jewish community of Lebanon had also dwindled.". Is that enough to answer the question?
