The Arab people now commonly known as Palestinians were identified as Palestinian Arabs, while the Jewish population of the area was referred to as Palestinian Jews. Some people, especially anti-Zionists, still refer to the Old Yishuv and their descendants as Palestinian Jews, but some may find this term erroneous or even offensive. Some organizations and institutions from the British Mandate referred to as Palestinian''' were not necessarily specifically or majority Arab, with some even being specifically or majority Jewish, such as the Palestinian Orchestra; for example, today’s English‐language Israeli newspaper The Jerusalem Post was called The Palestine Post under the British Mandate of Palestine, and the Israel national football team was originally called the Mandatory Palestine national football team''.
