No, I was implying there never was a state of Palestine, only Palestinians living in Palestinian territories

That's just as dumb as saying there was never any Native American states because it doesn't fit my/western definitions of what qualifies as a state. Therefore those people have no entitlement to land or life.

The post is about recognizing statehood, not entitlement to land and life

Yes but you are saying there's never been a Palestine. Which is false

There never was a state called Palestine, the British took control of the land from the Ottomans. The Ottomans had controlled the land for centuries and before them the Syrians
