The people might have not been called Palestinians, but that area was, and they clearly had a unique culture that differed them from the other Arab speakers in the region.The term Palestinian might be recent one to identify a group of people within that particular vicinity, but Israeli is far more recent and would be more artificial in that regard.

The people living there are the ancestors of the Palestinians. Who do you think made up 95% of the population of Jerusalem?

Their was only 5,000 Jew in what is now called Israel-Palestine while Arabs "Palestinians" pop was 750,000.
