3. Palestine is a geographic area, not a people. Jesus was a Jew from Palestine.

Palestine is home to the Jews, the Samaritans, the Philistines, the Canaanites...

How did this whole mess with Jews and Palestinians start?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_diaspora#Roman_destruction_of_Judea
The Jews, the remains of the kingdom of Israel, launched failed rebellions against the Roman Empire in the 1st and 2nd century CE. The retaliation by the Roman Empire against jewish populations caused the jewish people to leave their homeland and to spread out over the Middle-East and Europe.

So, with the Jews out, non-Jews moved in and made the area their home.

That's why both the muslims Palestinians and the Jews consider Palestine (the geographic area of the former kingdom of Israel) THEIR own homeland.
