I imagine the photographer asked, and this was specified with the image wherever OP got it from.
Before 1948 that area was Palestine so anybody living there would be a Palestinian
I used to think the same but it's a very mixed area.
I think you're mixing up ethnicity with what the area was. The whole area was Palestine before the UN partitioned it in 1948.
Prior to the 1917 British Mandate in Palestine, Jews made up 6% and Arabs the remainder. By 1948 it was 33%, so in 1930s there were a fair number of Jews: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/11/27/palestine-and-israel-brief-history-maps-and-charts
Oh shit. I think that guy made Pinocchio too.
At first glance I thought this guy had a wooden leg. An entire wooden leg.
