@JGoldman10,
Who are the "Palestinians"?
The Amended Palestinian National Charter (1968) - English, Article 5 defines the “Palestinians” as Arab:
[Note: The 1964 version has the equivalent article numbered as 6.]
Today the Media backdate the name "Palestinian" to when the Arabs in British Mandate "Palestine" were called Arabs.
The “Palestinian Arabs” dropped the name “Arab” because they do not want you to understand they mostly originate from Foreign-Arab-Migrant-Workers who came to the land of Israel just prior to, and during the British Mandate, to take advantage of higher wages through Jewish returnee-exiles:
Quote:'[...] most Arabs in British Mandate Palestine were migrant workers and descendants of the 1832-1947 wave of Arab/Muslim immigration from Egypt, the Sudan, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Yemen, Libya, North Africa, Bosnia, India, Afghanistan, etc. While the British Mandate encouraged Arab immigration, it blocked Jewish immigration.'

During the British Mandate "Palestinian" citizenship was granted irrespective of ethnicity or religion, so that both Arabs and Jews become "Palestinian" citizens . British Mandate "Palestine" was rule by a foreign imperial power; there has never been any indigenous "Palestine" state in the land of Israel.
The JEWS of British Mandate Palestine were Palestinian:

[Just to be clear: The Arabs are a noble people who have produced famous musicians and mathematicians.]
The Palestinian Arabs considering themselves Arab were opposed to being called a “people” until the 1960’s, when they decided it fitted with their intention to steal the land of Israel from its indigenous Jews:
