From online discussions with and observations of Zionists, I get the impression that many of them deny that #Palestinians have their own distinct cultural identity, and instead regard them as simply a part of "Arab culture" without anything that makes them unique.

I was always skeptical of that notion. Any group that lives in the same region for centuries develops its cultural identity from their own social networks and shared experiences, and Palestinians certainly qualify for that. Thus, it will be interesting to experience their cultural identity through their folk tales.
