when Mark Twain visited Palestine in 1867, he wrote that it was a barren land, hardly any Palestinians were there. With British industrialization post WW1, Arabs moved in to the land just as Jews did.
Palestinians have DNA that traces back to people who lived in the Middle East, and Jews do too. This does not mean Palestinians’ DNA traces them back to peoples of ancient Canaan.

A lot of Ashkenazi East European “Jews” could have been converts, Europeans who joined in the religion and intermarried with Jews beginning with the Jewish population in ancient Rome.

Mark Twain excerpt “Palestine is desolate and unlovely. And why should it be otherwise? Can the curse of the Deity beautify a land?“ https://www.gutenberg.org/files/3176/3176-h/3176-h.htm

I left out General Allenby dropped leaflets over Jerusalem telling the Ottoman - controlled forces to surrender.
Dec. 8-9, 1917 “surrender the city immediately, you don’t have a prayer” -Allenby.
The story goes at an Arabic, the general’s name resemble “Al-Nebi” = “The Prophet” —-> quite a fluke of history.
