Default What's the difference between Bedouins Druze and Palestinians in Israel?

All of them were Palestinians yet only the ones who don't belong to the first 2 still refer to themselves as Palestinians.All of them have Israeli citizenships but only the first 2 refer to themselves as Israeli.Palestinians were people living in Palestine, what makes a certain group of people stick to that name while others don't.If they are some sort of nation(like Israel) then why don't the Jordanians refer to themselves as Palestinians too? ------

Bedouin Druze are not only Palestinians they were nomads living all along the series of mountains that goes from Syria to Lebanon and ends in Palestine...thus the name Jabal el Druze. They are a religious community so different from the population we call Palestinians which is a mixture of all ethnic and religious pple found in Palestine.Palestinians were the people living in the country known as Palestine before 1967 (date when the Israelis came to occupy it). ------

Druze is a religion whose participants are Arabs.Bedouins are historically Arab nomads.Arabs who don't have any other distinction except for having their ancestors living in Palestine, call themselves Palestinians. ------
