Before the reconstitution of the State of Israel the word Palestinian always referred to the Jews who either lived in the land the Romans had renamed "Palestine," or who intended to return there.
The original name of the land was Judea and Samaria. By renaming it Palestine the Romans intended to erase all historical memory of the Jews. It didn't happen.
After the Romans came the Muslim as conquerors and invaders. They established themselves there and built a mosque on top of the sacred Temple Mount, where King Solomon's Temple used to be before destroyed and ransacked by the Romans.
While Jerusalem had a significant Jewish population all along, much of the land remained underpopulated for centuries. It was swampy, it was desert.
But then came the Jews to reclaim the land. And Arabs from today's Egypt, Syria, Iraq arrived looking for jobs. These are the Arabs who - without a distinctive identity to separate them from other Arabs - appropriated the denomination Palestinian for themselves.
They are Arabs with a stolen identity. Watch video further on with "Palestinian" leader acknowledging that half of Palestinians are Egyptians and the rest Saudis.
The Factual Israel website has uncovered another piece of evidence of how the word Palestinian was unequivocally used to refer to Jews. Here is their article:
THE 1939 PALESTINIAN FLAG
This a Larousse French dictionary from 1939. In the appendix it lists all the then current flags of the world in alphabetical order. You’ll notice that for Germany at that time the flag was the Nazi one replete with swastika which proves that this was pre-1945 ( before 1945) ! .
Now, alphabetically, look for the Palestinian Flag. YES , there is one. What does it look like?
Surprised? Oh, but you thought (Mandate Jewish) Palestine was an Islamic Arab-,Turkish-, Circassian Sovereign State that the bad Jews took over , right?
Confused?
From 1920-1948 a ( class ‘A’ Mandate) State of Palestine existed as per international law but it was, as all of its major institutions, Jewish. Until the 1960s, name “Palestine” resonated as something Jewish to peoples ears. The 4,000 year old Jewish homeland or “Land of Israel” or the “Holy Land” were all synonymous!!
The British as legal Mandatory over the Mandate managed or mismanaged the state partially with Jewish Auxiliary until Jews regained official sovereignty in 1948, by declaring independence.
The U.N. did not recreate Israel as some people claim.

THE JEWISH-ARAB CONFLICT IS NOT ABOUT LAND - HISTORY PROVES IT -
Arab genocidal acts and threats against Jews date from before there was a modern state of Israel, way before there was even talk of an 'occupation'

So-called Palestinian people are an invention. They are all descendants of Egyptians, Saudis, and such.
Palestinian leader himself says so. Watch video.
The facts: The people who call themselves Palestinians are simply Arabs (Muslims) who came to this area from several Islamic regimes. This is not my opinion but rather what their leaders clearly say. Take a minute and watch this!
Hamas Minister of the Interior and of National Security Fathi Hammad Slams Egypt over Fuel Shortage in Gaza Strip, and Says: "Half of the Palestinians Are Egyptians and the Other Half Are Saudis"
EXCERPTS
Following are excerpts from an address by Hamas Minister of the Interior and of National Security Fathi Hammad, aired by Al-Hekma TV on March 23, 2012. Fathi Hammad : Is Egypt incapable of supplying fuel for 1.5 to 2 million people in the Gaza Strip?

If you do not point your compass toward Palestine, Al-Aqsa, and Jerusalem, in order to uproot the Zionist enemy, the US will trample you underfoot. It will besiege you with its conspiracies and will finish you off. Therefore, you must hoist the banner of Jihad, the banner of "there is no god but Allah."
[...]
Brothers, there are 1.8 million of us in Gaza. In Egypt, there are about 90 million people. We equal merely two percent of the Egyptian population. [Supplying us with fuel] would not burden you at all.

At Al-Aqsa and on the land of Palestine, all the conspiracies, throughout history, have been shattered - the conspiracies of the Crusaders, and the conspiracies of the Tatars. At Al-Aqsa and on the land of Palestine, the Battle of Hattin was waged. The [West] does not want this noble history to repeat itself, because the Jews and their allies would be annihilated - the Zionists, the Americans, and the imperialists.
Thus, the conspiracy is very clear. Al-Aqsa and the land of Palestine represent the spearhead for Islam and for the Muslims. Therefore, when we seek the help of our Arab brothers, we are not seeking their help in order to eat, to live, to drink, to dress, or to live a life of luxury. No. When we seek their help, it is in order to continue to wage Jihad.

Allah be praised, we all have Arab roots, and every Palestinian, in Gaza and throughout Palestine, can prove his Arab roots - whether from Saudi Arabia, from Yemen, or anywhere. We have blood ties. So where is your affection and mercy?

Personally, half my family is Egyptian. We are all like that. More than 30 families in the Gaza Strip are called Al-Masri ["Egyptian"]. Brothers, half of the Palestinians are Egyptians and the other half are Saudis.

Who are the Palestinians? We have many families called Al-Masri, whose roots are Egyptian. Egyptian! They may be from Alexandria, from Cairo, from Dumietta, from the North, from Aswan, from Upper Egypt. We are Egyptians. We are Arabs. We are Muslims. We are a part of you.
