Answer 1
It is unclear. We know that the first self-identifications of various Levantine groups under one banner of being "Levantine Arabs" occurred roughly 800 years ago, but many of these groups were already living in the Levant before that point, they just had a different ethnic association.
Levantine Arabs did not begin to self-identify according to the names of the modern nations (Syrian, Lebanese, Jordanian, and Palestinian) until those nations came into existence in the 20th century.
Answer 2

∙ 8y agoArabs have lived in the area that is now controlled by Israel from the time of the Arab Conquest of the Levant in the 638 C.E. Today, there are roughly 1.7 million Palestinians who are citizens of Israel and live within Israel's borders. The majority of Palestinians left Israel during the Jewish-Arab Engagement of 1947-1949 and are now in refugee camps in surrounding countries, the West Bank, or are assimilated into the national population in the Americas or Europe.

Should Palestinians be allowed to return to Jerusalem?
the awnser for this questionYes, no one should be banned from returning to something that was once theirs Another Answer:The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is very complicated. There are Palestinians who live in Israel as Israeli citizens.Israel never forced the Palestinians to leave Israel. The neighboring Arab countries warned the Palestinians that Israel was going to be attacked. The Palestinians believed that Israel would be destroyed and they would simply return home. Well, that did not work. Israel was not destroyed. Many Jews were under attack in the Arab countries they lived in, so they fled to Israel where they were taken in. The Arab countries in return did not take in the Palestinians that they instructed to leave.Israel is a democracy, in Israel there are Palestinians who have equal rights. Israel is worried about its safety and therefor is not planning on allowing the Palestinians, who willingly left, return. The Palestinians are taken advantage of by their corrupt leaders and other countries. They are used being used. The Palestinians blame Israel for their misfortune and thus dislike Israel. Because of this, Israel is not willing to freely allow them into the country.There is an additional demographic reason too, beyond the fact that Jewish people have moved to Israel in a kind of a 'swap'; since the great-grandparents / grandparents / etc of the current generation of Palestinians left Israel, the number of descendants of those original Palestinians has increased beyond the remotest possibility of Israel's capacity to safely re-accommodate them.
