1. They came for the most part from other areas of the Arab world.
2. They settled in temporary camps on the West Bank.
3. They had a burning goal to drive out the established residents of the coastal region of Israel, and take their lands.
4. They were driven by religious fervor, and used their religion to justify violence.


You made it too easy. That is the Hittites. Wait a minute, you could say it was the Scythians. Wait a minute, you could say it was the Egyptians. Wait a minute, the Samaritans did that. Hold it, hold it, the Greeks (Phillistines) were there too. What about the Aryan invasion? (Afghanians and Pakistani?) Then the Ptolemaic Greeks. (Cleopatra et al) And I would say the Romans qualify. Just a sec, what about the Chaldeans? Say, the Samarians (Russian Amazons) held sway there, the Babylonians, the Sumerians, the Aramayics. The Turks have historic claim.

It's a contested area. We can safely say the Palestinian Arabs and the Lebanese (Phoenicians) are out of the running. Recent upstarts. They have only been there for 3500 or so years.

Harvard Professors Call for Divesting From Israeli Investments
(IsraelNN.com) 39 Harvard University professors have signed a petition calling on the university to divest from investment in Israel. The petition was presented to a forum at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology on Monday.

The joint petition between Harvard and MIT calls for an end to ties with Israel until "Israel ends its occupation of Palestinian territories, complies with a number of UN resolutions, and puts a stop to alleged human rights abuses".
