      No, the migration at this time was tiny. There were only a few thousand jews sometimes less migrating per year and they were at this point a single digit percentage of the population. Most of the jews fleeing russia and austia-hungry went to America. I believe 30-40,000 went to Palestine and 800,000 went to america. A bit after 1920 the migration would become insane with hundreds of thousands of jews arriving legally and illegally.
