The People who identify themselves as Palestinians come from Syria and Jordan, Egypt, Iraq Lebanon, Saudi, and the nearby Arab countries.
The current generation is from this land but their families are not. They came when the Turks needed them for war. AKA The Ottoman Empire.
They came to kill Jews in the FIRST PLACE.

I have been to many of their homes. I either had Syrian, Jordanian, Lebanese, Egyptian SIMILAR food not same, they know their culture.
Palestinian lands.
The people who lived in that terrain were Christians, Jews, and Muslims from all over the world. That land had no government, no flag, no one but the British looking over it after Romans were gone. Jews had started to return in the mid 1800s

Jews even went to Africa and other countries to teach agriculture to make hard land useful to its inhabitants.
Arabs from surrounding countries came; the agriculture drew them.
