Most Palestinians have a sizeable Arab component given the migration in the region. If you want to play genetic olympics or whose more indigenous do it with someone else. My only point in all of this is some posters seem to lack an understanding of Jews. Which I think is just a little bit important when discussing this conflict. I am not trying to downplay play another groups historical ties to the land. I have maintained throughout this thread Palestinians are entitled to a state.

The Druze are actually a later version of Islam than the Shia or Sunni, arising in Egypt in 1017, using genetics to prove mythical ownership to land is a fools errand anyway, you can be fairly certain a fair chunk of jews didn't leave with the diaspora but converted to whatever conversion the Romans allowed, in the fullness of time became orthodox Christians and then Muslims eventually, there's a fair number of Palestinians who's ancestors would have been less than committed Jews a thousand years before
