Who was born in Palestine? Remember, Israel was Palestine before the state was declared Israel in 1948.
Some people say that Arabs are “native Palestinians,” while Jews are “invaders” and “settlers.” But reading the biographies of Israeli and Palestinian political leaders, it is clear who are the natives and who are the invaders.
