Many Palestinians are Muslim or Christian, and they have lived in this region for a very, very long time.
A Long, Long Time Ago...
The story of the Palestinian people goes back many years. Long ago, most of the people living in Palestine were Palestinian Muslims and Christians. Later, more people started to move to the area. This led to people feeling even more connected to their Palestinian identity, like wanting to stand up for their special place. It's like when you feel proud of your school or your town!
