You said yourself that people have INHERENT rights. Why would the Jewish people not have those same INHERENT rights?

Who are the Palestinians?
Who are the Palestinians?
DR LAILA GHANAM, Governor of Ramallah
Judaism is a religion. An American or Italian that practices Judaism forms part of the American or Italian people. Why can't you understand that?
I just wanna check again, have you dug something that shows a DISTINCT culture or ANYTHING
of these Arabs?
I don't believe the Palestinians want peace. And the Jews don't want to give up land.How does anyone or any nation even begin to negotiate peace with a people who prefer death over life?
Well, it seems that Zionists threaten with the death of our entire planet, if their regime is in danger:
Van Creveld was quoted in David Hirst's The Gun and the Olive Branch(2003) as saying:
We possess several hundred atomic warheads and rockets and can launch them at targets in all directions, perhaps even at Rome. Most European capitals are targets for our air force. Let me quote General Moshe Dayan:
'Israel must be like a mad dog, too dangerous to bother.'
I consider it all hopeless at this point. We shall have to try to prevent things from coming to that, if at all possible. Our armed forces, however, are not the thirtieth strongest in the world, but rather the second or third.
We have the capability to take the world down with us. And I can assure you that that will happen before Israel goes under.[30]

How can you negotiate with people who have chosen to behave like "mad dogs"?
How can you negotiate with people who threaten to destroy the entire planet?

According to the research I've been able to come up with there are two things distinct about the Palestinian culture.
1. They pronounce a single consonant slightly differently than other Arabic speakers.
2. The embroidery designs on their women's clothing (though common throughout Syria, Jordan and "Palestine") may have slightly different variations in different villages.

That's interesting:
1. Gaza is in the southern border of the Levantine Arabic, but that doesn't make these people any different than Syrians, Lebanese and Jordanians.
Hebrew has different pronunciations too but all who use them are Jews.
Maybe I don't see something, but how a common dialect distinguishes Arabs in the Jerusalem area from other Arabs?
2. Same here, probably a tribe thing?

Not a distinct culture. Just some regional anomalies.
Not that I reject the idea of Palestinian self-determination and sovereignty.
(COMMENT)Yes I get that, what you post seems reasonable.Not a distinct culture. Just some regional anomalies.

But doesn't Palestine mean the whole Levant area for Arabs?

Sorry to just jump right in here and insert myself. I hate this description. Its use raises more questions than is intended.

The "Levant" is a fairly large and indeterminate area, with no fixed or defined parameter, on an arc from somewhere along the Mediterranean Coast, just north of Alexandretta in the vicinity of the Anatolia Border ---- down to the Bi'r Adb on the shore of the Sinai Peninsula with the Mediterranean Sea. The Levant stretches out very nearly to Cyprus, and totally encompasses modern day Israel, Lebanon, Jordan, covering two-thirds of Syria, the western Provinces of Iraq and western Saudi Arabia on an arc from Ar'ar to al-Bi'r. Its boundaries are very subjective.
Palestine in the concept of the Ottoman Empire, loosely described the Sanjuks of Beriut, Acre, al-Balqa, the western portion of Maan and Hauran; including the Independent Sanjuk of Jerusalem.
The Palestine recognized by the Order in Council was that defined by the Allied Powers (territory to which the Mandate Applies), surveyed and Partitioned. It extended westward from the Iraqi border to the Mediterranean Sea, and south from the Paulet-Newcombe Line; to a line from the shore of Aqaba through Ratah to the Mediterranean.
Palestine in the contemporary sense, is described by the UN (relative to the 1988 Independence) as "the territory occupied since 1967, including East Jerusalem."
When using the term, it has to be made clear which timeframe to which you trying to apply the term.
Most Respectfully,
R

My conclusion from what you and Shusha presented is that the contemporary Palestinians are connected by dialect to other different distinct states and cultures that were once united under Sunni caliphate (Sham and Levant or Greater Syria).
Does it mean that what numerous tribes are trying to achieve now in Syria and Iraq under a caliph includes most of Israel and all of Palestine?
Aren't Palestinians currently represented by Sunni muslim tribe leaders as well, and aim at the same goal?
Who are the Palestinians?
