Palestinians today are not true arabs

see the problem with your last statement is Palestinians do not come from arab tribes nor did they migrate here. thats 100 percent lie.. we are converts from the three monolithic religions.. the oldest name of my tribe in Palestine is Aramaic and it goes back 3,500 years in this land. most Palestinians once spoke Aramaic, Aramaic gradually changed into Arabic during the 7th century Islamic conquest. Even though my village is Muslim some elders will tell you we once were Christian's who converted a long time ago.. we are the ancient farmers of these lands israelis are invaders who have no tribal connections to this region whatsoever
