back to seriousness, Palestine witnessed the first attempt in the Arab history to create an Arab country for its Arab citizens (as opposed to an Islamic country) and created an Arab identity, with the creation of the Dhaher al Omar's country on most parts of modern Palestine which received European backing and fought against the Ottoman Empire (17th and 18th centuries).

not to fail to mention that Jesus was a Palestinian, born in Bethlehem and raised in Nazareth. So Christianity is practically a Palestinian religion ;)
