Palestinian Erotic

Palestinians are the broader cross-border Arab ethnic group with the historic homeland in Mandatory Palestine (the territory of contemporary Israel, the West Bank, and the Gaza Strip) — approximately 14-15 million globally, distributed across the West Bank (~3.2M+), Gaza Strip (~2.2M+ pre-October-2023, with substantial post-October-2023 disruption), Israel as Israeli Arab citizens (~1.7M+, separately enumerated under israeli-arab), Jordan (~3-4M+ of Palestinian descent comprising the majority of Jordan's population), Lebanon (~470,000+ Palestinian refugees per UNRWA, predominantly in 12 official refugee camps with substantial restrictions on civil rights and economic activity), Syria (~570,000+ Palestinian refugees per UNRWA pre-2011, substantially reduced through Syrian Civil War-era displacement), Saudi Arabia and broader Gulf states (~500,000+), the United States (~250,000+), Chile (~500,000+ Palestinian-Chilean diaspora, the largest Palestinian diaspora outside the Arab world), plus communities in Europe, Latin America, and globally. The Palestinian ethnogenesis traces continuously to the broader Levantine Arab demographic substrate plus the post-7th-c. Arabization of the broader Levantine populations. The 1948 Nakba ('Catastrophe' in Arabic) — the displacement of approximately 700,000-750,000 Palestinians during the 1947-1949 war that established the State of Israel — produced the foundational refugee crisis that has shaped Palestinian identity through the post-1948 period. The 1967 Six-Day War produced additional Palestinian displacement plus the Israeli occupation of the West Bank, Gaza Strip, East Jerusalem, plus the Sinai (returned to Egypt 1979) and Golan Heights (effectively annexed 1981). Predominantly Sunni Muslim (~93% of Palestinians) with Christian (~6%, predominantly Greek Orthodox, Greek Catholic, Roman Catholic — concentrated in Bethlehem, Beit Jala, Beit Sahour, Ramallah area, plus the substantial Palestinian Christian diaspora) and Druze (separately enumerated) sub-populations.
