How do I refute this claim when I encounter it?
Nearly all Palestinians are the descendants of the lower-class Jews from ancient times. The legend that Rome 'expelled the Jews' is a gross exaggeration of what really happened: the Romans merely expelled the Jewish ruling class. All of the other Jews remained, and centuries later they adopted Islam due to pressure from a new ruling class. (It was either that or move out of Palestine, which would have been such a tremendous pain in the neck that it was easier to just trade their old Abrahamic faith for a new one than emigrate and keep Judaism.)

So the Palestinians are the foreign Jews' siblings, which adds another layer of tragedy to the situation.
