  2. Not quite. The Revisionists (led by Ze'ev Jabotinsky) had a different ideology. They wanted all of Palestine, and beyond (they did not recognize the partitioning of Jordan, and also wanted parts of Syria and Lebanon). They were not content with simply clnizing part of Palestine. The "moderate" Znists were willing to only clnize part. But, the Irgun decided to side with the British during WWII. Some didn't like that, so formed Lehi. They tried to ally with the Italians, Germans, and Vichy. They continued fighting the British during WWII. Likud was founded by those Revisionist trrrists, and they still have the same stated Revisionist goals. They still claim a "right" to all of ʾEreṣ Yīsraʾel (based on fictional biblical borders).

  3. ​ @Peethemayan4516  "Palestinians" describes people in a region. Just like Scots aren't literally all descended from Dal Riata Scots, the term spread from a small SW group to cover a larger region. The vast majority of Scots are genetically Northern Britons and Picts. The Sea Peoples came through and liberated the Canaan region from Hittite and Egyptian domination. Some of those Sea Peoples, who the Egyptians called Peleset, settled in the SW corner of Canaan. Archaeology indicates they didn't gncide the local Canaanites, didn't ethnically cleanse the local Canaanites, but simply immigrated and merged with the local Canaanites. That region became Philistia. All, or part, of the region has been called some variation of Palestine, ever since. Aristotle considered the Dead Sea to be "in Palestine", so the term had spread to describe a larger region, by then. Palestinians have Canaanite DNA. They are Arab and Muslim the same way indigenous peoples of Central America are now Hispanic and Catholic. They were the previous Christian majority. They were the Jewish majority, before that. The Canaanite mythology region had been made Jewish, similarly ... conversion, and the spreading of a culture (archaeology doesn't support the mass gncides bible myth). So, the Znists "returned" to clnize the ancient Jws, that never left.
