Palestinians are Arabs who are a mixture of pre-Israelite and other groups who settled in Palestine. They speak a dialect of Arabic and write classical Arabic. Until 1948 the country of Palestine occupied an area east of the Mediterranean that is now occupied by Israel and Jordan. The creation of the state of Israel created hundreds of thousands of Palestinian refugees.
