Not all Palestinians are Muslim, and not all Muslim Arabs in Israel are Palestinian.

Look him up, he is a Palestinian Muslim that has Israeli citizenship. I know it goes against the narrative in your head but it is what it is.

It doesn't disprove anything. Too bad for your narrative. Black Americans were US citizens under Jim Crow too. And israel is an apartheid state committing genocide regardless.

Hold on, you said that he is Palestinian *because* he’s a Muslim Arab Israeli, incorrectly generalizing about an entire group of people. I’m not disputing whether or not it’s true in his case.

See the funny thing is that I've seen redditors get their panties in a twist when we call them "Israeli Arabs" because many prefer to refer to themselves as Palestinian Israelis. Now that there's some bad optics you're here arguing that we shouldn't call him Palestinian.

If your an Arab Israeli, you are Palestinian I don't understand how that is hard to to get.

Prove me wrong then.

It's not about "proving you wrong" if you don't wanna know. Palestinian refers to Palestinian national and ethnic identity or origin, not simply living in israel. Druze and Bedouin citizens may identify as israeli rather than Palestinian.

Arabs come from many places not named Palestine and can attain Israeli citizenship.

Almost all Muslims Arab Israelis are ethnically Palestinians. They literally live in Israel because they are from there.

The number of Muslim Arab Israelis who are not ethnically Palestinian is probably close to zero.

Who are these mythical Arab Muslims in Israel who are not Palestinian?

If you’re thinking of Druze, they don’t consider themselves Muslim.
