Replying to @lavshortforlavender the Arabs conquered and colonized Israel in 752AD, subjugating the Jews who were living there, and populating the stolen land with Arab farmers (it was good, arable land because of the hard work of the Jews). They were all called Arabs until AFTER Israel was created, and specifically Arafat, a KGB agent, in his memoir speaks of how Russia/Iran/Arabs specifically created a Palestinian identity to kill all the Jews. In his memoir. plain as day.
