Anecdotal story. I visited Palestine and had dinner with a family that included adult sisters, probably in their 60s. Both Palestinians, but they spoke to each other in Spanish. That's their first language, because their parents fled in 48 to Columbia. They moved back after growing up at some point. I was pretty confused too, when I heard not Arabic or English, but Spanish.
I did not know that. The only country I knew of with a Palestinian community was Canada.
