1,764,520, comprising 1,061,270 Muslims, 553,600 Jews, 135,550 Christians and 14,100 people of other groups.

This is a canard as well. Most of the Jews who were living in the area prior to the European's colonizing the area were Palestinians as well. And so were the Christians.

The term "Palestinian" refers to people who had their roots in that area for many generations (over a thousand years). I has nothing whatever to do with their religion. The newcomers were the Europeans. Everyone else was a Palestinian. So yes, "land of their forefathers" is a perfectly apt term to use for the area that the Palestinians want to keep as their own.
