 * exodus of 1948 and more so after the exodus of 1967, the term came to signify not only a place of origin but also the sense of a shared past and future in the form of a Palestinian state.[42] Modern Palestinian identity now encompasses the heritage of all ages from biblical times up to the Ottoman period.[63]

I would retype this whole part

Here is why:

1. Khalil Beidas's 1898 use of the word "Palestinians" in the preface to his translation of Akim Olesnitsky's A Description of the Holy Land. (https://qph.fs.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-1f3e3927fd44b6347ab721aa6071c092.webp)

2. The best-selling journal under the Ottoman and British rule: Falastin, Al-Karmil and Mir'at al-Sharq all three addressed their readers as "Palestinians".

3. Not totally surprising considering that by "1914 the inhabitants of the country were very much 'Palestinians' in their own eyes, and in fact even in the eyes of their Ottoman overlords." (Gerber - Remembering and Imagining Palestine)

4. Manual of Palestinian Arabic for self-instruction in Jerusalem 1909 (https://qph.fs.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-f82ec5207aca08071f141d717df51bc4)
