How can Palestinians claim their homeland as Palestine?

Answer 1

Arabs, Turks, Magyars (Hungarians), and numerous other ethnic groups are not actually homogenous. They are composed of two historical groups that intermarried and created a unified culture. In the Arab case, Arab nomads from Arabia conquered the Levant region and brought it under their rule. During that period, those Levantines who converted to Islam began to take on the same mannerisms as the foreign Arabs who had conquered them. They began to speak the same language, dress in the same clothes, and believe in the same general ideologies. This process is well-documented by Arabs and is called Arabization or Ta3arib (تعريب). This is why the Jews and the Christians of the Upper Middle East (the Levant and Mesopotamia) often do not consider themselves Arabs. Unlike their Levantine brothers whose conversion to Islam made them more susceptible to Arabization, they retained their pre-Arabized ethnic sensibility. Therefore, although Palestinians call themselves Arabs, the majority do not and should not have lineages that go back to Arabia, but to pre-Arab ancestors in the Levant region, likely Jews, Christians, and Pagans in the Byzantine Empire.

(The Turks "Turk-ified" the formerly Byzantine population of central Anatolia and most of modern Turkey and had some effect elsewhere in the Balkans. The Magyars made the sedentary population of the Hungarian Empire into Hungarians through conversion to the Catholic Church and the proliferation of the Hungarian Language and customs.)

Answer 2

During the construction works in the Old City of Jerusalem, the fragment of the ancient inscription in Arabic was found, reports the Associated Press. The inscription is dated by the Xth century, and the date is very exact thanks to the text of the inscription. In it, the veteran of the army of the Caliph Al-Mukhtadir expresses his thanks to the Caliph who granted him the land after the retirement.

So, the Arab soldiers , after conquering Palestine, were getting "for the good and loyal service" the land of the Jews whom they killed and expelled.

And now the grandchildren of these Arab soldiers say they are "the native population of Palestine" and call Jews "settlers".
