Yes, palestinians are arab.
Arabized through Islamicization, but not anciently Arab. They self-identified as Syrians back in the days of the British Mandate, or just self-identified by family or village or tribe, but never called themselves "Palestinians."

Generally speaking, when someone refers to "the Palestinians" they are referring to the Settled Arab population (as opposed to the Nomadic Arab population) of the former British Mandate of Palestine, exclusive to the Yishuv or Jewish Settlement, and the descendants of said Arabs. As a result, Palestinian in this sense is defined exclusive to Jews. This is the sense that is invoked when people talk about Palestinian Statehood and a distinct Palestinian identity.
However, when the British were in power, from 1919-1948, everyone in the Mandate of Palestine was given a Palestinian nationality. As a result, the Jews in Palestine at that time (including the Halutzim or Zionist Pioneers and New Yishuv) were all Palestinians. The Israeli Right-Wing Newspaper, the Jerusalem Post, used to be called the Palestinian Post in this period for this reason. So, technically, those Jews who were born in or lived in Mandatory Palestine prior to the State of Israel's declaration of independence can be considered Palestinians in this sense. Most, like almost all of Israel's former Prime Ministers do not accept this appellation and it is more commonly used among Arabs to delineate between "the Jews they would accept" and the "the Jews they would not accept" in an Arab State of Palestine.

Why did Palestinians fear Jewish immigration?
Palestinians feared Jewish immigration because they (correctly) believed it to be the precursor to the establishment of an independent Jewish State. The Jews who settled in the British Mandate of Palestine made their intentions very clear. The Palestinians were afraid that a Jewish state would serve to antagonize them and make their lives worse.
Is it common for Israelis and Palestinians to marry with each other?
No. It is very rare, but the probability increases if you talking about Arab Israelis and Palestinians (as opposed to Jewish Israelis and Palestinians).
Which Middle Eastern country is jewish rather than muslim?
Israel technically, the nation of Israel use to be called Palestine, but the Zionists removed the Palestinians and renamed the Israel. The Palestinians are mostly Muslim but there are Christian and some Jewish Palestinians as well
What do the Palestinians think of Jewish settlements in the West Bank?
The Palestinians think of Israeli settlements in the Palestinian Territories as the theft of land and a continued humiliation of their people.
Arab group that may be most opposed to a Jewish state in a mostly Arab region?
Palestinians
Who are Jewish settlers?
AnswerJewish settlers are Jewish people from different world countries who migrated to the Palestinian lands and settled there through installing settlements for their own residence on behalf of the Palestinians. They built settlements even in the West Bank that Israel promised to be given back to the Palestinians to establish their independent state.
Do Palestinians believe that Jewish settlements are a major obstacle to the peace process?
Whether or not their people believe it, their leaders publicly claim it.
What do Palestinians believe in?
In terms of religion, most Palestinians are Sunni Muslims with a minority of Christians. "Druze Palestinians" and "Jewish Palestinians" typically identify with Israel more than Palestine and therefore call themselves Druze Israelis and Jewish Israelis. In terms of day to day occurrences, because of the relatively high level of education, Palestinians are less prone to believing conspiracy theories, except where Jews or Israel are concerned, than other Arab groups. They also tend to be more rational for the same reason. In terms of values, Palestinians have many of the same values as other Arabs, such as a high regard for family and tradition, open arms and hospitality to strangers, and strong emotional displays (especially concerning anger).
Why do Palestinians live in the West Bank?
Palestinians having been living in the West Bank for the last 800 years at least, so it should not surprise us that they currently live there. Additionally, numerous Palestinians fled Israel during the Jewish-Arab Engagement in 1947-1949 and many of those Palestinians ended up in the West Bank. As a result, they began to create lives for themselves in the West Bank.
What reasons do the palestinains have to be upset?
The British took a large part of their land and called it Israel for Jewish people to live in. The Palestinians didn't have any say, and the Jewish people hadn't lived there for a long time. This isn't a dating question :) Many Palestinians lost their homes and land when the state of Israel was formed. This is the main reason they are upset. There are several UN resolutions aimed at getting Israel to compensate the Palestinians, but so far they have not been enforced by the global community.
How many Palestinians did Jews kill?
Palestine was not involved in World War II. The Palestinians who died during World War II were those who went to fight in Europe (such as the Jewish Brigades in Italy and Hannah Senesh). Arab Palestinians emerged almost unscathed by the war.
Are the Israelis and Palestinians fighting the Muslims?
No. Neither of them are fighting "the Muslims" as a group. Most Palestinians are Muslims anyway. The Israeli-Palestinian Conflict is between two national groups: Israelis who are primarily Jewish against Palestinians who are primarily Muslim. However, neither Israeli nor Palestinian forces have declared that they are fighting Islam. There are numerous mosques in both countries where Muslim worshipers freely pray to God.
