Palestinian Jew

Encyclopedia : P : PA : PAL : Palestinian Jew

---

A Palestinian Jew is a Jewish inhabitant of Palestine throughout certain periods of Middle East history.

After the modern State of Israel was born, nearly all native Palestinian Jews became citizens of Israel, and the term "Palestinian Jews" largely fell into disuse. It is still used in contexts where it is necessary to distinguish from Muslim, Christian or Druze Palestinians who are together termed "Palestinian Arabs". (See also Arab Israelis). Jews from Arab lands are today typically not termed Arab Jews, so "Palestinian Arab" today also implies the exclusion of Palestinian Jews.

Palestinians themselves may be either Muslim, Christian, Jewish, Druze, or other. Please see the Palestinians article for a more detailed discussion.
