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.
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.
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.
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.
