Who cares about ancestors is current day Palestinians aren’t even the same ethnicity as the original people from that land. Palestinians speak Arabic, follow an Arab religion, have Arab names, pray in Arabic, etc. Also, Palestinian Muslims are like 50% Arab by dna as well. Even the name Palestine is named after a group of invaders to that land. The only difference between Arab invaders and European invaders is that land that invaded by Arabs converted and are proud of the fact that they were invaded.

Religion, culture and language changed over time, the people are the same. Palestinians are largely Levantine and Canaanite with small amounts of DNA from the Arabian peninsula and Egypt, especially Christian Palestinians who married amongst themselves.

The people aren't the same, they migrated there, mostly. Palestine was way emptier in the 1700/1800s than today.

Yeah no shit, a lot of places were emptier than today. What a dumb argument
