Look up DNA testing in Israel, their govt doesn’t want people testing and finding out their genetic history seems to include an awful lot of eastern Europe and not anything from the Middle East.

Purdy much, most Palestinians are actually the native Jewish population who converted to Christianity and then Islam. That’s why the Israeli government doesn’t want DNA testing.
A lot of it was forced conversion. There’s a long history of religious and cultural oppression of various peoples in the region. You could probably find some online documentaries about it, though more than a few likely view the events through a pro-Zionist lens.

Ancient Judea & Israel were also not ethnostates.
Any ideas why they converted? I wasn’t aware of this, and I don’t see that it matters…I’m just curious.
Christian crusades followed by Islam doing what Islam is designed to do.
Mass conversion of populations are not common. It’s either conquest, oppression or rebellion.
