Or rather, modern “Palestinians” are a fake people. They’re not indigenous to that region like Jews are. They are from surrounding countries such as Jordan, Egypt, Lebanon, and Syria. But the propaganda has sunk deep and most people don’t know that the term “Palestinian” originally meant Jews living there.

There were plenty of Canaanite tribes. Philistines, Phoenicians, Moabites, Ammonites and other peoples lived in the area, and borders changed with time. Jews became Christians and Muslims. Not all of the Palestinians came from Lebanon or Syria.

Correct. "Palestinian" always referred to Jews living there. Particularly from the late 1800's to mid-20th century. The arabs stole the "Palestinian" reference for themselves in the 1960's. Another thing - the mandate for an Israeli nation included much of the land that is now Jordan. The lands were supposed to be evenly divided between the Jews and Arabs, but the Jews were shortchanged and much of the land was given to the Arabs.

Of course, the Arabs aren't satisfied and want all of the land. Jews by the thousands have been kicked out of many Arab nations and fled to Israel, but the Arabs won't even let them have that tiny land.

Yes. But the key factor is they are the refuse of surrounding Muslim areas whose own countries don’t want.
