The Jews claim that the land dates back to 3,000 years when Jewish kings ruled the regions from Jerusalem. To Palestinians, the land had belonged to them since most, but not all, Jews were driven out around A.D. 135. Islam spread in the 7th century and quickly became the dominant region.

Are Jews and Palestinians related?

Most Jews share a common Near Eastern Levantite ancestry with the Palestinian people but some Jews have intermixed heavily with their host people (i.e. Persian Jews with Persians, Spanish Jews with Spaniards, Polish Jews with Poles, etc.). Palestinians have been highly influenced by Arabs and by Islam but still retain similar cultural aspects as Jews. Arabic and Hebrew are somewhat similar (many similar words like malik/melekh, ane/ani, Allah/Eloah, etc. and grammar).


Why do the Arabs who live in Israel call themselves Palestinians when Palestine means 'home of the Jews'?

The question is based on an incorrect supposition, namely that "Palestine" means "home of the Jews". Palestine was the Roman name for the territory and referred to the Philistines, who had been historic enemies of the Jewish Kingdoms in the area. The Palestinians use the terms "Palestinian" and "Palestine" because those were the terms used by the colonial forces. Prior to the arrival of British and French colonization of the Levant, people in Israel, Palestine, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria all called themselves "Shamite" which is usually translated as "Greater Syrian". After colonization, each began to identify with the territorial boundaries of the various new mandates.
