Palestinians are the descendants of the ancient Canaanites and Israelites. Their DNA and genetic makeup are a living testament to this, linking them directly to the land with a continuity of the population in the region over thousands of years. Read to learn more:

Tsvi Misinai, an Israeli businessman and researcher, writes and speaks extensively about the connection between the Palestinians and the Jews, and claims that nearly 90% of all Palestinians are descended from Jews who remained in the land after the destruction of Second Temple.

David Ben-Gurion and Yitzhak Ben Zvi, later becoming Israel's first Prime Minister and second President, respectively, and two of the primary founders of the State of Israel, also suggested that Palestinians were the descendants of ancient Jews in the 1920s and 1930s.

Palestinians are closely related to the Samaritans, whom have always been in the land. They were Arabized during the early 7th Century AD. Palestinians converted to Christianity and later on Islam, they did not come from another continent to settle in an already inhabited land.
@bluesardine1 - Andrea Sardine
Palestinians primarily spoke Aramaic, a Semitic language widely used in the Near East during the time before Arabic gradually became their dominant language under Arab control in the 7th Century AD. Palestinians did not, in fact, come from the Arabian Peninsula.

Genetic research indicates that Palestinians and Samaritans have a substantial degree of shared ancestry, dating back to the ancient populations of the Levant, and supporting the historical and archaeological evidence of a continuous presence in the Levant for thousands of years.

This also ties in with the long-standing and deep-seated hostility between Jews and Samaritans during biblical times, reminiscent of the continual conflict between Israelis and Palestinians.

Tatreez, the traditional Palestinian embroidery, has a rich history deeply rooted in the culture and heritage dating back to the Canaanite era, where intricate patterns were found on textiles and other artifacts.

Pioneer of the First Aliyah and founder of the Bilu movement, Israel Belkind, journalist and essayist, Ahad Ha'am, and one of the founders of the Labor Zionist movement, Ber Borochov, also asserted that Palestinians were Jews who converted to Christianity and later on Islam.

Although, from a scientific standpoint, Palestinians have more Canaanite and Israelite DNA and less European admixture than European Ashkenazi Jews, mitochondrial DNA results reveal no major difference between the Samaritans, Jews, and Palestinians in the Levant.
@bluesardine1 - Andrea Sardine
Palestinians primarily descend from ancient Levantines, tracing back to the Bronze Age inhabitants of the region, including the Canaanites. Studies show a close genetic relationship between Palestinians and Jews, further proving the shared ancestry from the Canaanite population.
