Palestinian Americans (Arabic: الأميركيون الفلسطينيون‎) (Hebrew: אמריקאים פלסטיניים‎) are Americans of Palestinian 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 escaping persecution from the Ottoman Empire in the late 19th century. Others came as a result of the tension during the 1948 Arab–Israeli War and the 1967 Six-Day War.
