Palestinian Arab

Encyclopedia : P : PA : PAL : Palestinian Arab

A Palestinian Arab (or Arab Palestinian) is an Arab of Palestine - either the historical region of Palestine or any of the political divisions designated as "Palestine".

Journalists, historians and some diplomats or government officials frequently refer to Palestianian Arabs as "Palestinians" for short.

According to the PLO, the "homeland of Arab Palestinian people" is Palestine, an "indivisible territorial unit" having "the boundaries it had during the British Mandate". [link]
