A bit off topic, but those that are claiming that Palestinian isn't a nationality are being highly ignorant. I myself, as well as many friends of mine are Palestinian and I can assure you we are not the same as other Arabs. Sure we all speak the same language, but every region in the Middle East has their own distinct regional culture, dialect, cuisine, national dress, etc. So much so that when I go to any other Arab country, I stand out as obviously being Palestinian the moment I start conversing with the locals. Sure, you can debate who's wrong and who's right in this whole situation, but debating whether or not the 5 million Arabs in Israel, West Bank and Gaza aren't a distinct culture is borderline racist.
