Putting this all aside the idea that "arab" is a race and that no "arab" existed in palestine or wider levant prior to the Islamic conquest (surprise there were people from the Arabian peninsula in palestine long before "arab colonization") has done irreparable damage to online discourse. Like everyone thinks they're a historian and the loudest ones think that indigineity means some uninterrupted ancestry to the land and treat migration as evidence of settlerism. I mean, it's just so bizarre. Identities change over time, people change even if they stay in the region their understanding of their own identity is not the same as their modern day descendants. It does not help the discourse that people try to prove palestinians are descendants of the philistines or canaanites, which only makes it worse because the reality is that it is impossible to improve. "Most Palestinians' genetic history can prove that they go far back" well some palestinians migrated on pilgrimage from africa and other parts of Asia as lat as the 19th century. What unites us is far more than genetics and playing into this israeli understanding of history only serves to legitimize it
