I noticed an Australian on that wiki link for notable ‘palestinians’ - thought I would check, here’s who he is:

Hockey was born in Sydney, New South Wales. His father, Richard Hockey, who came to Australia in 1948, was born in Bethlehem, West Bank (pre-1948 Palestine), of Armenian background - the family name was originally Hokeidonian.[3][4] Hockey attended St Aloysius’ College and the University of Sydney, residing at St John’s College, where he graduated with degrees in Arts and Law. He was a banking and finance lawyer, and Director of Policy to the Premier of New South Wales, before entering politics.

HOCKEY’S BACKGROUND IS CHRISTIAN ARMENIAN.

"Palestine" has been a melting pot for 1000's of years. A Palestinian is just someone who was born there or has ties to the area.

People who defend Israel's right to exist(me for one), note that Palestine has only existed as a nationalist movement in the 20th century. Before that people were far more likely to identify themselves by their tribe or religious affilitation(Druuze, Christian, Sunni etc...). A Christian Armenian whose parents have ties to the West Bank has just as much right to call themselves a Palestinian as anyone else. To use a term from postmodernism it's an "Imagined Community".
