To my knowledge there was no 'palastine' it was just what that area of land was called after Israel fell to the romans.

You are technically correct the Romans renamed several different areas of the land of Israel "Palestina', they name it after 'Philistina'... the Philistines were Greek sea faring people who lived in the Land... they certaining not Arab.

The Palestinians are Arabs...they speak Arabic, they are culturally and genetically Arabic. No one speaks Palestinian language because there is no such thing. Many are forced to live in the West Bank, when they would rather flee to other countries, because of those who want to maintain a bone of contention with Israel.
