Smotrich's Claim That He's the Original Palestinian

Jerusalemites and the recent claims of someone like Smotrich claiming that he's the original Palestinian. I don't think many people realize that many of the Muslims in Palestine converted from Christianity so they were already there hundreds of years prior to the arrival of Islam. All of the prime major Israeli leaders have constantly denied the existence of Palestinians as a strategy by saying you don't exist, says Yossi Ben-Ghiat. Israel is not their place to actually determine who is and who's not in relations to Palestine according to him.
