Where the palestinians came from ?

Παλαιστίνη (Palestine) is a very old country. There were no Jewish people during that time. So, if the ancient Greek travelers already knew about that land since thousands of years before today and there was never recorded anything about the Jewish people then, we can safely assume that these are the original inhabitants of Palestine. I believe the Jewish people were invented 2 thousand years later on and they are all of Arabic origin.

You forgot Al-Kanani family my dear friend. According to your own logic everyone with this family name comes from the Canaani tribe that lived in Palestine more than 3000 years ago. And how about Habash family? Does George Habash look Ethiopian to you? Your argument is very weak my friend. Using surnames to disprove historical and genetic facts is not smart at all. So let me challenge you, and anyone else who agrees with your argument, to give us a date and event when Arabs massively immigrated to Palestine from Yemen, Saudi, Syria...etc and replaced the original inhabitants. If you can't help us with that, how do you want us to believe your Hasbara? And tell us please, if Palestine was part of Greater Syria, and its population in past were inspired by Arab Nationalism, how is that relevant? How does that mean that people of Palestine can not call themselves by the name of the land where they and their ancestors lived? How does that deprive them from their national rights and their right to have a state of their own? @Bela: Your Kanani name is Hawain name for girls, nothing in common with Canaani Arabic surname. And you just gave us a proof that surname alone does not determine peoples land of origin. And no one denies that Palestinians are Arab and majority of them Muslims (can you tell us why does that matter?). So are Syrians, does that mean Syrian people do not exist and their land should have been given to illegal Russian immigrants because of some 3000 years old religious mythology? And the quote "Jordan is Palestine and Palestine is Jordan", means both territories are one entity, and not that Palestine is located inside Jordan as your propagandistic drive invites us to believe. @Punk: Does that mean you agree that Palestinians are descendants from people who lived in Palestine before the 7'th century as well? And if most Palestinians have been living there since 7'th century as you believe, do you think that 1400 years of continuous residence in Palestine is not enough to make them Palestinians? If not, then how long should one live in a land to become native to it? And since Jews didn't even make the 1400 years in Palestine, do you think it is absurd to call Jews native to Palestine? And do you think that because some Jews settled Palestine 3000 years ago, it means that Palestine should belong to every person of Jewish faith 3000 years later? Can you give us one example of such claim by any other people in history other than Jewish fanatics? As for Arab immigration in the 20th century, it was nothing to mention, here is the proof from official British Mandate report to the UN: http://www.palestineremembered.com/Acre/Books/Story835.html

Genetic analysis suggests that Palestinians are "descendants of a core population that lived in the area since prehistoric times," and that the Muslims among them are largely descendants of Christians and Jews from the southern Levant. Since the time of the Muslim conquests in the 7th century, Palestinians have been predominantly Muslim by religious affiliation and linguistically and culturally Arab. Like the Lebanese, Syrians, Egyptians, Maghrebis, and most other people today commonly called Arabs, the Palestinians are an Arab people in linguistic and cultural affiliation. Like most other peoples today called Arabs, Palestinians descend from the pre-existing ancient inhabitants of their respective region and those who have come to settle it throughout history;] a matter on which genetic studies described below has begun to shed some light. American historian Bernard Lewis writes: "Clearly, in Palestine as elsewhere in the Middle East, the modern inhabitants include among their ancestors those who lived in the country in antiquity. Equally obviously, the demographic mix was greatly modified over the centuries by migration, deportation, immigration, and settlement. This was particularly true in Palestine..." Ali Qleibo, a Palestinian anthropologist, explains: "Throughout history a great diversity of peoples has moved into the region and made Palestine their homeland: Canaanites, Jebusites, Philistines from Crete, Anatolian and Lydian Greeks, Hebrews, Amorites, Edomites, Nabateans, Arameans, Romans, Arabs, and European crusaders, to name a few. Each of them appropriated different regions that overlapped in time and competed for sovereignty and land. Others, such as Ancient Egyptians, Hittites, Persians, Babylonians, and Mongols, were historical 'events' whose successive occupations were as ravaging as the effects of major earthquakes ... Like shooting stars, the various cultures shine for a brief moment before they fade out of official historical and cultural records of Palestine. The people, however, survive. In their customs and manners, fossils of these ancient civilizations survived until modernity—albeit modernity camouflaged under the veneer of Islam and Arabic culture." Much of the local Palestinian population in Nablus is believed to be descended from Samaritans who converted to Islam. Even today, certain Nabulsi surnames including Muslimani, Yaish, and Shakshir among others, are associated with a Samaritan origin. Genetically, the Palestinians may even closer to the Jews of ancient times that the present Jews now who have been mixed with European and Turkik blood. During the British Mandate of Palestine, the term "Palestinian" was used to refer to all people residing there, regardless of religion or ethnicity, and those granted citizenship by the Mandatory authorities were granted "Palestinian citizenship".[32] Other examples include the use of the term Palestine Regiment to refer to the Jewish Infantry Brigade Group of the British Army during World War II, and the Palestinian Talmud, a section of the Jewish oral tradition originating from the biblical Land of Israel. Following the 1948 establishment of the State of Israel, the use and application of the terms "Palestine" and "Palestinian" by and to Palestinian Jews largely dropped from use. For example, the English-language newspaper The Palestine Post, founded by Jews in 1932, changed its name in 1950 to The Jerusalem Post. Jews in Israel and the West Bank today generally identify as Israelis. Arab citizens of Israel identify themselves as Israeli and/or Palestinian and/or Arab.

Well you can SPECULATE about where the Palestinians came from, or if they came from anywhere at all. But we KNOW where modern Jews came from and are STILL coming from : Russia Poland Germany Ethiopia Iraq Syria Yemen Morocco Egypt America Lebanon India England Btw, there's no evidence the Romans ever kicked the Hebrews out of the Holy Land in the numbers they claim, it's a Zionist myth. The DNA evidence also supports this, as the Palestinian cluster lies directly in the center of the 3 Jewish sub-cluster = Palestinians are the REAL Hebrews that never left the land and converted. Plus it's obvious when you see a black Ethiopian and a blonde Russian claiming to be the same people...... now that is something you can "lol" about!

OK, heres the deal son! Ask some folks who are real big in learning and knowing things, You know the real smart guys! Theyll all tell you that the jews went in Palestine after WW2. The real stupid ones will tell you different stories. You know, propaganda stuff. Bottom line. If the greeks say that the jew is somethin new then thats how it is. I trust these guys because they know there sheet, knowhatmean? Steel

A recent genetic study (I think 2009) came up with a result that Palestinians are the direct descendants of ancient Jews who never left their ancestral land and who later converted to Christianity and to Islam. It can be surmised therefore that the modern Jews and modern Palestinians are part of the same people although they may now have differences in cultures and religion (Palestinians are largely Muslims and Christians while Jews continue to practcve Judaism while some have become atheists). The study even suggests that modern Palestinians are possibly more closely related genetically to the ancient Hebrews than many modern Jews.

and from where does "Camel Urine" originally comes from..........that is according to your anology.........

"Pales..." who??? If the people speak Arabic, confess Islam, dress like Arabs, celebrate the Arab holidays and eat the Arab food - they are Muslim Arabs, no matter if they live in Germany, Great Britain or Palestine. And if their leaders say that "there is no such a thing as "Palestine", Palestine is the Zionist invention", and "Palestine is Jordan and Jordan is Palestine", then these people are Jordanian Arabs. For Petit. My dear friend, the name Al-Kanani means not "The Canaanite", as you in your propagandistic drive invites us to believe. The family name "Al Kanani" means "The beautiful one". http://www.thinkbabynames.com/meaning/0/Kanani It´s in Arabic, by the way, not in Canaanite, Aramaic or Hebrew. Thank you for adding one more Arab name to the endless list provided by the Asker. i always knew that you are Israel´s supporter.

Palestinians are descended mostly from Arab Invaders that came in the7th Century but are also descended from Greco-Roman invaders who came in between 330BCE and 500CE, as well as Turkish and Mamluk Invaders who came after the Crusades Some also came in the 20th Century in an attempt to counter Jewish settlers returning after a 1900 year exile it's funny how some claim that Jews come from various countries while conveniently forgetting that the vast majority of Jews arose in Israel and were exiled across Europe and the Middle East for about 1900 years -Petit Some ancestors of Palestinians came before the Arabs, but none- zero- came before the Jews, as the Jews and the ancestors of the Jews are the original inhabitants of the land. Those that came before the Arab invasion are still invaders, invaders that conquered the homeland of the Jews African Chocolate Most Jews were exiled after the Bar Knocba Revolt in the year 135 CE right here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_diaspora http://jjprzy.envy.nu/testimonium/48-TheJewishDiaspora.htm Don't get me wrong there was a diaspora before that, some from the Babylonian exile 600 years earlier, and a few others moved around Hellenistic and Roman world for thier own economic opportunities. But most of the blame on the Jewish Diaspora clearly falls on Emporer Hadrian. You need to stop listening to Arab propaganda, much of which was invented by the Nazis anyway
