Despite overwhelming archeological, literary-historical, and linguistic evidence, the Palestinians and their supporters claim Jews are not indigenous to Israel. From Yasser Arafat, late Chairman of the Palestine Liberation Organization, to Mahmoud Abbas, current President of the Palestinian National Authority, Palestinians and their supporters have, among other things, denied that King David ever existed or that the First and Second Temples were ever built. More recently, some insist that Jesus was a Palestinian and not a Jew.
