The comments are a mess

Arab is not equal to Palestinian.

Not all Arabs living in Israel take on the Palestinian identity.

For example many Bedouins who live in the south and north do not identify as such ( and also serve in the IDF).

Very small percentage used as propaganda from Israel

Not a very small percentage at all. Most Arabs in Israel see themselves as Israeli, not Palestinian.

Wrecked :marseysmug2:

By that logic the israeli identity only started about 70 years ago, "Philistine" (as what Palestinians call it) is older than judea by 700 years and later during the roman empire "Palestina" was all what that land was called. + The Palestinian population are indigenous by DNA to that land so..

Palestinians have absolutely nothing to do with Philistines. The Philistines historically disappeared in the bronze age.

Palestinians are likely descendants of Jews, Sameritans, Greeks (or levantine Hellenists like the selecuids), Romans, Byzantines - that were were forced to convert to Islam and then Arab colonizers.

DNA proves exactly that.

Bringing DNA into an ethnic fight might not be a good idea :marseysmirk2:
