That's their identity, you can never expect them to be stripped away from it. Bahrain has a lot of Palestinians who were born in Bahrain, own Bahraini passports, and have never been to Palestine, yet they pride themselves on being Palestinians. A lot of our high school teachers and university professors come from Iraq and Palestine, and have been living in Bahrain in order to escape the madness. Even if they're married to Bahrainis and have spent enough time in Bahrain to consider themselves citizens of the country, they'll say "I'm an Iraqi" or "I'm a Palestinian" whenever asked.
