NO they are recent arrivals from wholly Islamic nations in the vicinity of Palestine. This is shown when the UN had to alter existing rules for refugee status so that the arab muslim illegal immigrants could be covered. Even then they had to create a new UN body to provide for their welfare because the majority of "Palestinians" had less than two years residency in Palestine.
Some of them are, just like
some of the Jews are immigrants from Europe.
The geneticists find that the majority of Jews have a common ancestor that the Palestinians don't, they have even narrowed them down to individual tribes the DNA is that positive and foolproof.
The purpose is to show the extent that anti Jews and Nazis will go to when it comes to demonising the Jews and denying them their rights under international laws. The muslims are not a native people, they themselves claim to be Syrian and Egyptian before being Palestinian.
Yet those same genetics show close ties between Jews and "Palestinians".
Blood brothers: Palestinians and Jews share genetic roots
The Muslims are descendents of indiginous people who converted to Islam and migrants from surrounding areas.
The only purpose here is to show the extent people like you will go to to demonize people who have lived in the area for centuries. I'm not demonizing anyone. I freely agree that the indiginous population comprises Jews, Christians and Muslims.
The only reason to say otherwise in the face of history is to try to disenfranchise one or the other - is that what you are doing?
And the arab muslims say they are Syrians and Egyptians.
The studies done show that in the 1800's the arab muslims were nomadic and travelled around the whole area. They were not static and could be working in Hebron today and Homs next week. So are they Palestinian or Iranian ? The tests come up with an 85% to 90% match which is the same for man and the great apes down to man and a banana, so how does this mean that Palestinians and Jews are closely related. Look at the studies presented by monte that claim the whole of the European Jewish community is descended from just 4 females. That would mean the inter-breeding would have created genetic mutations and a survival rate of today of less than 10%.
You want to look at demonization then look no further than team palestine's attacks on the Jews around their ancestry and history, with the claims of fictional groups being the Ashkenazi Jews of today.
Some were but many were settled farmers. The studies done refer to the Beduoin. The word "Arab" was used to classify a broad range of people.
To listen to you the only inhabitants of that region until 1960 were Jews and that's a blatant falsehood.
Then you are employing selective hearing and should be ashamed of yourself.
I'm going by exactly what you said - are you backing away from that claim now?
The Jews lived and worked the land for 4,500 years, in the middle they were conquered by the Roman empire and the Christian sect of Judaism was invented. The Christians grew into a world religion with teaching of hate against the Jews because they did not want their roots in Judaism to be well known. Then in the 7C a camel herder with a mental defect invented islam and proceeded to take over the world, starting with the Jews when they refused to accept him as the Messiah.
Ok...let's review this.
Multiple ancient people's lived in the area referred to as "Palestine"....
Canaan
The earliest references refer to "Canaan". At that time, the indigenous people of Canaan worshiped many gods but, chief among them, the goddess Astarte and her consort Baal. Women had some pretty decent rights... "Women could and did serve as Priestesses, could own land, enter into contracts and initiate divorce". That's just a sidenote, but surprising.
Then, a bunch of unruly slaves led by a madman who got his orders from talking burning bushes invaded Canaan, "subdued" the native population and conquered it's cities and in installed their newly invented monotheistic religion.
Palestine
Then, the Phillistines invaded (a term that still means course, vulgar and barbarian) and were partially subdued by the Israelites.
Then the Assyrians invaded, subdued the Phillistines completely, sacked and raped their way to glory and sold the inhabitants into slavery.
Eventually - Alexander the Great "liberated" Palestine and claimed it.
Then the Roman's claimed it.
Then along comes a zombie messiah - Christianity was invented and sweeps through the the region.
Then along comes a camel herder in the Arabian Peninsula who hears voices in a cave, invents Islam which then sweeps through the region. Muslims captured Jeruselum in 638 AD, not - as you say "in fact the arab muslims arrived between the late 1890's and the mid 1960's." Your claim isn't even remotely close.
In all these successive invasions, conquering and migrations - religions moved along with people and the indiginous inhabitants often converted to the new religions.
So who has the longevity in the area as it certainly isn't the Christian immigrants or the arab muslim immigrants. What you are saying is that you have more rights in America than the original inhabitants, while saying that the immigrants in Palestine also have more rights than the original inhabitants as well. The arab muslims ( clue is in their racial name ) and Christians don't have more rights to the land as they are mostly recent arrivals, in fact the arab muslims arrived between the late 1890's and the mid 1960's. This is shown by the UN having to create a new body because the arab muslims did not meet the criteria for refugee status having less than 2 years habitual residence in the area.
Stop right there. That is NOT what I'm saying. It is YOU saying that one group has "more rights" than another. They don't. None of them do. They are closely bound together and have been so thousands of years weathering a succession of conquering peoples...starting with the Israelites. The whole argument of rights determined by ancient history is idiotic and depends on a completely arbritary system of determining what is considered "long enough" to be "legitimate".
