Wikipedia: The Palestinian people, also referred to as Palestinians or Palestinian Arabs, are an Arabic-speaking people with family origins in Palestine. The total Palestinian population, including descendants, is estimated at approximately 12 million, roughly less than half continuing to live within the boundaries of what was Mandate Palestine, an area encompassing Israel proper, the West Bank, and the Gaza Strip. In this combined area, as of 2009, they constitute a majority of 49% of all inhabitants, some of whom are internally displaced persons.
