Palestinian American
Palestinian Americans are Americans of Palestinian Arab ancestry. It is difficult to say when the first Palestinian immigrants arrived at the United States, however, many of the first immigrants to arrive were Christians fleeing Ottoman Palestine in the late 1800s, while others came as a result of the 1948 Arab-Israeli War and the Six Day War and some came from Latin America in search of jobs and a better life in cities like New York and Detroit alongside other Arab communities such as the Lebanese and Yemenis.
