The difference between the Palestinian Arabs and the Sepharadic Jews is basically that the Arabs stayed in the Land of Israel and adopted whatever culture came along and the Jews stuck with the culture but lost the land (apart from a few families in the village of Peke'in in the Galillee and maybe elsewhere after the Crusader conquest). Well that is simplified of course - Arab tribes also arrived from Arabia with the Muslim conquest and there has been more recent immigration too and the ancient history is complex too. The European Jews seem to be a mix of mostly Middle Eastern Y chromosones and Southern European mitochondrial DNA from what I read :) But there was plenty of reverse settlement from Europe back to the Middle East too whether in the Greek or Roman empire days or the Crusader period etc.

This website has some pretty interesting information about DNA groups.
Some of my ancestors were Acadian French, but it turns out they were late commers to France and have more in common with populations from Georgia.
After reading this I d not have much sympathy for territorial claims.
History is the story changing populations in many ways
