It’s not unique.
And it wasn’t adopted to express heritage — but to oppose the Jewish state.
Let’s break it down. 👇 1. First, look closely.

🧵 Palestinian DNA vs. Historical Migration: What’s the Truth?

1/
Yes, many Palestinians carry ancient Levantine DNA.

But here’s the part they won’t tell you:

The real demographic shift came from Arab & Turkmen migration under Ottoman rule.

👇 2/
Between the 1500s–1800s, the Ottomans resettled:
▪️ Egyptians in Gaza
▪️ Syrians & Lebanese in Jaffa
▪️ Turkmen in the north
▪️ Hijazi tribes across the Negev

Most came for work, land, or empire strategy; not because they’d always been there.

“Leave now. Come back after we drive the Jews into the sea.”
They left.
Israel survived.
They called it the Nakba.

🧵 A thread about what really happened: the In 1947, the UN proposed a two-state solution.
One Jewish state. One Arab state.
The Jews said yes. The Arabs said no.
The next day, Arab militias attacked Jewish civilians.
The war started before Israel existed.
