Note
A regular -s plural, and it belongs only to the noun. The adjective Palestinian never takes the ending, so English says Palestinian families and Palestinian towns, never "Palestinians families." Because the noun covers both people living in Palestine and those descended from that area, the plural reaches well beyond the territory itself. Its collective counterpart, built on the adjective, is the Palestinian people.
