Your question was - are Palestinians Persians. No, they are not. (You weren't serious in asking this were you?)

Palestinians are predominantly Arabs who lived in Palestine. On what basis do you justify their explusion? Why does a community who has lived for many generations in a land have no right to their homes and livelihoods?
OK, I will admit it was a rhetorical question, but...

...Exactly they are not Persians, but Arabs. Yet they claim more rights to the lands than the Jews. They are not Persians. They are not descendants of the Ottoman Empire. Where is this superior claim coming from?

For the record: I am for a two state solution (unlike most of the pro-Palestinians on these boards).
