Well Palestinians are Semites, but of Arab branch mostly. (atleast the ones that are now is)
But you can look up "Kingdom of Israel" on wikipedia. Its from the timeperiod of 900 BC, so this was before monotheism of 600 BC happend. So i dont think Judaism even was a religion before later, and it was simply a culture before it developed into a religious one.
