What do you mean by “Palestinian”? They’re Palestinian by the classic definition of “those who live in the region of Palestine”.

If you mean citizens of the State of Palestine, that’s a political matter, and zero Jews have that citizenship.

If you mean something along the lines of “unbroken lineage of ancestors who never left Palestine", that would also exclude many people who we all consider Palestinian, such as Arafat himself who was born in Cairo.



By Palestinian Mizrahi, I mean Mizrahi who are culturally Palestinian. Who have some ties to Palestine. Someone you could call native.


Any Jew certainly has cultural ties to Palestine, if we're talking about the region rather than the modern national identity with the same name.
