Palestine is an area not an ethnicity or race.

What about Europeans occupying area in America ?
America is an area as well. Why call people in American areaAmericans?

If Palestine is area, people who live there are Palestinians
Humans have been migrating since origins in Olduvai gorge in Africa. Then people call themselves by the area they adopted.

You’re wrong. There is no such thing as Palestine. Read about the Balfour Agreement. You’ll notice that no one else wants them.

"Palestine is an area not an ethnicity or race."

I read the same - from Jewish sources, no less.

Those sources say Palestine was sort of a nickname given to the area, the same way we call a section of the U.S. "the Midwest."

IIRC, the Greeks and, later, the Romans were the first to call that area Palestine, and the area was inhabited by the Jewish people in Roman times.

And it wasn’t even an area- just a place taken over by squatters
