Answer 1

They are from Fertile Crescent region just like Israeli Jews.

DNA tests show that they have ancient ancestor to region (Fertile Crescent.)

DNA tests show that majority Palestinian Arabs only have recent link to Israel (modern borders) of 1,500 years ago when there were Arab conquerors in the land.

Mimi's quotes are Wiki and upon checking them out the specific ones 24,25,26 he quotes do not show anything verifiable to modern history as these sources are subject to "Arab flavor" and embellishment.

For a more reliable and scientific DNA source one would have to use Oppenheimer studies of which link is provided to substantiate my first three statements.

All of this can actually be sorted out though as Arabs have already admitted that there is no such thing as "palestinian" national people but basically they are just indigenous to the region:

"The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct "Palestinian people" to oppose Zionism. For tactical reasons, Jordan, which is a sovereign state with defined borders, cannot raise claims to Haifa and Jaffa. While as a Palestinian, I can undoubtedly demand Haifa, Jaffa, Beer-Sheva and Jerusalem. However, the moment we reclaim our right to all of Palestine, we will not wait even a minute to unite Palestine and Jordan." -- PLO Executive Committee member Zuhayr Muhsin, March 31, 1977, interview with the Dutch newspaper Trouw."

Answer 2

Palestinians are Arabs, no different from Egyptians and Syrians.

Come to think of it; they are Egyptians, Syrians, and Jordanians!

Answer 3

The Hebrew scripture it not a reliable source; it is filled with blatant contradictions and most of the sagas are in conflict with archeology or even basic science ( Red Sea parting,etc.). I would recommend the first major historian of the period and the place: Herodotus,in his "Histories", which you will find in any library. Written by a former Greek tradesman with many years of travel in the region to his credit,he writes extentisively of Egypt,Syria,Phoenicia and Palestine. The time of composition is approximately 500 B.C.  There are no references to Hebrews,Hebrew kingdoms or any of the "tribes" mentioned in the Hebrew sagas.

Answer 4

i dunno. just blame it on the jew.

The term "Palestine" came from the name that the conquering Roman Empire gave the ancient Land of Israel in an attempt to obliterate and de-legitimize the Jewish presence in the Holy Land. The name "Palestine" was invented in the year 135 C.E.  Before it was known as Judea, which was the southern kingdom of ancient Israel. The Roman Procurator in charge of the Judean-Israel territories was so angry at the Jews for revolting that he called for his historians and asked them who were the worst enemies of the Jews in their past history. The scribes said, "the Philistines."  Thus, the Procurator declared that Land of Israel would from then forward be called "Philistia" [further bastardized into "Palaistina"] to dishonor the Jews and obliterate their history. Hence the name "Palestine."

  One more thing. Very often one hears the revisionists and propagandists finding ancient historical links between the "Philistines" and the Arab "Palestinians."  There is no truth to this claim! The Philistines were one of a number of Sea Peoples who reached the eastern Mediterranean region approximately 1250-1100 B.C.E.  They were actually an amalgamation of various ethnic groups, primarily of Aegean and south-east European origin [Greece, Crete and Western Turkey] ... but surely not of Arabian origin!  These Philistines were not Arab... and neither was Goliath! The Arabs of "Palestine" are just that... Arabs!  And these Arabs of "Palestine" have about as much historical roots to the ancient Philistines as Yasser Arafat has to the Eskimos!

  The ancient, indigenous inhabitants of Palestine are long perished from the earth. Canaanites, Phoencians, and then Philistines, all were dominated by the Israelites before 1060 B.C.E.  Most of these cultural identities dissolved completely by the neo-Babylonian age, or, the 6th century B.C.E.  Arabs weren’t even in Palestine until the mid-7th century C.E., over a thousand years later, after Palestine’s 1,300-year Jewish history. Arabs later living in Palestine never developed themselves or the land, but remained nomadic and quasi-primitive

Answer 6

Copy-Paste from Wikipedia

"Throughout history a great diversity of peoples has moved into the region and made Palestine their homeland: Jebusites, Canaanites, Philistines from Crete, Anatolian and Lydian Greeks, Hebrews, Amorites, Edomites, Nabateans, Arameans, Romans, Arabs, and European crusaders, to name a few. Each of them appropriated different regions that overlapped in time and competed for sovereignty and land. Others, such as Ancient Egyptians, Hittites, Persians, Babylonians, and Mongols, were historical 'events' whose successive occupations were as ravaging as the effects of major earthquakes ... Like shooting stars, the various cultures shine for a brief moment before they fade out of official historical and cultural records of Palestine. The people, however, survive. In their customs and manners, fossils of these ancient civilizations survived until modernity—albeit modernity camouflaged under the veneer of Islam and Arabic culture."[24]

therefore,

""The early ancestors of some of today's Palestinians are no doubt the Canaanites, Philistines, Phoenicians, Egyptians, Idumaeans, Nabateans and Samaritans. In later periods, their intermarriage with conquering peoples, such as Greeks, Romans, Arabians and Turks, merely added to the genetic mix in Palestine."[25] Much of the local Palestinian population in Nablus, for example, is believed to be descended from Samaritans who converted to Islam.[26] Even today, certain Nabulsi family names including Muslimani, Yaish, and Shakshir among others, are associated with Samaritan ancestry.[26]"

the Palestinians are not one race. They are more that 10 races

and hey asker, did you ever hear that the Jews were one day called Palestinians?

so how do you compare a religious group (of course because you are refering to the bible) to a race which anybody can carry its name regardless of their religion.
