He wasn't a Palestinian Arab, as that nationality didn't exist at that time.
Also, the Romans didn't give the area the name Syria Palaestina until a century after Jesus' death. If you'd have called him a Palestinian, he would have associated that with the Philistines (a Greek people unrelated to Palestinian Arabs) and would have been insulted. It would be like calling a Catholic from the Republic of Ireland an English Protestant.

@Anniedlr So would that have made him a member of the Judean peoples Front? Or the Peoples Front of Judea?😷

Yes, indeed. But Mary didn't register in time that year, so she lost her citizenship and they became illegals. That's why they fled to Egypt.
By the nineteenth century we understood international citizenship and universal rights well, universally. Unknowing is the key to fascism.

Jesus was born in Bethlehem and unbeknownst to the majority of Americans (85% to be exact), the city itself is Palestinian and found in the West Bank. Source google. Might be nazareth though which is also in disputed territory.

@whowasthatmaskedman According to the Quran, Jesus and the apostles were Muslims.
And behold! I inspired the disciples to have faith in Me and Mine Messenger: they said, "We have faith, and do thou bear witness that we bow to Allah as Muslims." Surah 5:111

RC Sproul from my Reformation Study Bible agrees with your point.
