Answer 1

i know it is the other way around .. Palestinians where always in Palestine . it was actually the Israeli's that immigrated to Palestine in the 1940s . the Arabs(neighboring countries ) were the only ones that helped them and supplied alot of food and built homes for them and supported them ...

Answer 2

The Paletinian peoples were the original inhabitants of palestine mandate which was the area entrusted to Britain to govern. Terrorist attacks by jewish separtists and pressure from the US forced them to allow Israel to declare the Independance (lucky for Israel there was no policy of "not giving in to terrorists" back then!)
The neighbouring countries should do more to help the palestinians but the palestinian leadership and their neighbouring governments also beleived that the constant pressure of 100000's in refugee camps would force the international community into examining the legality of bith Israels westbank invasions (considered illegal) and the very existence of Israel(considered legal).

they are thougt to be descendedcfrom many people including philisines + phoenicians.
Genetic testing can find no signicant differences in the palestinians who live in the area and the remains of the people who lived in that region prior to the rise of the jewish religion(1000BC). They also can find no difference between those people buried in jewish burials and those buried in traditonal burials suggesting that judaism arose in the population and did not arrive as invaders. This is the accepted archaelogical view. You can even see the change of religion vaguley reported in the bible in the way that the "goddess of the grove" , the female aspect of jehova, was removed from the temples and judaism became a monotheistic paternalistic religion.
The thing to remember is that the people of the middle east were promised self rule for helping the winners during the first world war. this didnt happen and then land was taken from them as a sop to the Jews for treatment during WW2 and before by Europeans and americans. How would americans react if some aliens came down and said that becouse they found the indegiounous religions of the native americans less annoying than christianity they were granting the entire east and west coasts of the US to the indians and the white population can inhabit the mid-western states-with no compensation. this is how the average palestinian views the interference of the uk, US and the UN in their affairs- aliens from planet X with no idea of reality!

Answer 3

Palestinians are usually the Arab population of the area in today's Israel and Jordan, not including Bedouins.
most of them lived there for generations, some emigrated to this area after WW1 due to the improved standard of living in the mixed Jewish Arab society and the British rule.
after 1948 some of the Palestinian population that lived in the areas which have become the state of Israel fled to neighboring Arab countries.
most of these refugees were not rehabilitated by the Arab governments of these countries, in contrast to Israel, that received Jews fleeing from Arab countries and rehabilitated 3 times more refugees than the number that fled from Israel/Palestine.

Answer 4

The 1948 Arab-Israeli War, referred to as the "War of Independence" (Hebrew: מלחמת העצמאות) or as the "War of Liberation" (Hebrew: מלחמת השחרור) by Israelis, is the first in a series of armed conflicts fought between Israel and its Arab neighbors in the ongoing Arab-Israeli conflict. For Palestinians, the war marked the beginning of the events they refer to as "The Catastrophe" ("al Nakba", Arabic: النكبة‎). After the United Nations proposed to partition the territory of the British Mandate of Palestine into two states, Jewish and Arab, the Arabs refused to accept it and the armies of Egypt, Syria, Transjordan, Lebanon and Iraq, supported by others, attacked the newly established State of Israel which they refused to recognize. As a result, the region was divided between Israel, Egypt and Transjordan.

Answer 5

Well, there is no actual tribe called Palestinians. Before 1948 when Israel declared independence, the people living there considered themselves Jordanian Arabs. During the war for independence, the Arab states told the "Palestinians" to leave so they could destroy the Jews. When the Arabs failed to do that, they also refused to take in the refugees THEY had created. Caught between the Israelis who could not absorb them and the Arab states that refused to, they have largely lived in refugee status as political pawn of the Arab world since then. They took the name "Palestinians" so that they could lay claim to the land of Israel. It comes from the Roman renaming of the province of Judea/Gallilee to Palestine (the Romanaztion of the world Phillistine) after they dispersed the Jews in AD 68. Their hope was that renaming it would disuade the Jews from returning to their homeland.
