Deflections do not address anything.One cannot become a citizen of a country or Nation which does not exist.Indeed, and they became Palestinian citizens with the rest of the people living there.Define for us what specific group had 13 consecutive centuries of residency.
The Jewish people have nearly four thousand years of consecutive, continuous residency.
Palestine never existed as a Nation/Country.
The Romans called the region where Judea and Samaria existed
SYRIA Palestinia. There were no Syrian Palestinians at any time.
No one, not one inhabitant, not one invader ever called the people living on the land Syrian Palestinians .
Not the Romans, the Byzantine, the Muslims, the Crusaders, the Ottomans, or the British.
Not the Americans, the Germans, the Italians, or anyone else who visited the region.
Israel did exist and had citizens to its Nation.
They were not called Palestinians.The automatic, ipso facto, change from Ottoman to Palestinian nationality was dealt with in Article 1, paragraph 1, of the Citizenship Order, which declared:One cannot become a citizen of a country or Nation which does not exist.
“Turkish subjects habitually resident in the territory of Palestine upon the 1st day of August, 1925, shall become Palestinian citizens.”
Genesis of Citizenship in Palestine and Israel
Your befuddlement regarding the above has been addressed repeatedly. Why are you still befuddled?
