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.
