A:
The ancestors of the Palestinians were Semitic people, just as the ancestors of the original Jews were. They would have included the Canaanites and Philistines who lived along the Levantine coast on the western side of Israel and Judah, as well as Greek and Roman immigrants over the centuries. But since conversions and intermarriages were not entirely uncommon, some of their ancestors were probably among the Israelites and Jews of the Levantine region, just as some Middle Eastern Jews might have Philistines in their ancestry.

Did the Palestinians originally belong to any tribe of Israel?
A:Throughout much of ancient history, the Levant region was an ethnic melting pot. No one ethnic group could truly trace its origins back exclusively to one tribe or group of tribes. The modern Palestinians could regard their ancestry as a combination of Canaanites, Philistines, Nabataeans (who settled around the Sinai region in late biblical times), as well as Greek and Roman settlers. They would almost certainly include among their ancestors some Idumeans who avoided forced conversion to Judaism, and even some Jews who converted from Judaism to Christianity or Islam. Finally, the Arab and then Turkish conquests would have added to the ethnic mix, just as they did to all the other ethnic groups in the Middle East.However, Palestinians do not assert themselves to be one or part of the Tribes of Israel nor is a view of that nature commonly accepted by non-Palestinians.

Why do the Israelis and the Palestinians both want the Gaza Strip?
The Israelis believe it is rightfully theirs according to the Biblical land of Israel, but the UN-recognized border goes outside it, so the Palestinians want to have it as their own nation. The previous opinion is incorrect. Israelis do not actually want the Gaza Strip, specifically because it is NOT part of the Biblical Land of Israel (Gaza is recognized to be part of the Philistine State in Biblical Times). The reason that there is conflict in Gaza is that Israel believes that the regime in Gaza is hard-set on the destruction of Israel. Palestinians do want the Gaza Strip, as explained by the previous opinion, so that they can have their own country.
