Cannot possibly be historically accurate.

If you are talking about Palestinian Arabs, they didn’t settle in Palestine until Muslim Arabs colonized the land of Palestine early in the eighth century AD. Until then, Palestine was the land of Jews, Samaritan’s, Seleucid Greeks and Parthians.

If, on the other hand, you are talking about Israeli Palestinians, it is self-evident that they didn’t become Israelis until Israel became a sovereign state some seventy years ago.
