That is not to say that Arabs didn't live in Palestine before then (as did Jews and other groups), but there was a mass migration not that dissimilar to the Zionist movement that also began in the 1800s. The land grabs at the time were mutual.

Just to be clear, there really isn't much evidence that supports this. Furthermore, as expected, Palestinian culture is similar, but distinct to its neighbors. You don't develop a unique culture, dialect or traditions over a couple of decades just to piss off the Jews.
This is such a weird take.
Finally, as was mentioned, it doesn't matter.
