"Thousands of years?" Meaning more than one.
In the period from today and stretching back ---- and two millennium ---- I do not think that there was any period of time in which the indigenous population for the territory exercised autonomous self-governing authority over the area known today as the territory formerly under the Mandate.
Two thousand years ago (6 AD), Roman expeditionary forces established the province called Judaea. The Romans maintained sovereign control of the region until ≈ 614 AD; when The King of the Sasanian Empire (Persians) - Shah Shahrvaraz - took control of Jerusalem until the Islamic Emperor took control in ≈ 627 - 630. For a couple hundred years, the sovereignty exchanged hands several time Among the Caliphs several times. This struggle continued until the establishment of the Catholic Kingdom of Jerusalem until the Kurdish Leader Saladin captured Jerusalem from Crusaders (≈ 1187). This remained the status quo, bouncing back and fourth until Ottoman Sultan Selim I took control (≈ 1517). This Ottoman control remained until the Turkish Republic came to power; and Kemal Ataturk negotiated a peace.
The indigenous Palestinians did not survive for thousands of years, it was never a soveriegn extending self-government.
For every dollar the Russians gave to the Arab League in the post-WWII era, a similar amount was provided to Israel in order to ensure that Cold War era Israel maintained a qualitative and comprehensive military edge over the Arab Allies to Russia.
Military Aid by the US to Israel was comparative to the Russian Military Aid to Lebanon, Syria, and Egypt. But military aid and internal defense and development (IDAD) from either the US it its allies --- or --- Russia to its allies is completely different from the International Donor Aid to Arab Palestinians. "International aid to the Palestinian Authority fell by 70% over the last four years, significantly affecting the Palestinian government's budget, and consequently, the economy." By contrast -- the US bi-lateral aid remained relatively constant.
"Since the establishment of limited Palestinian self-rule in the West Bank and Gaza Strip in the mid-1990s, the U.S. government has committed more than $5 billion in bilateral economic and non-lethal security assistance to the Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza, who are among the largest per capita recipients of foreign aid worldwide."

"Since the establishment of limited Palestinian self-rule in the West Bank and Gaza Strip in the mid-1990s, the U.S. government has committed more than $5 billion in bilateral economic and non-lethal security assistance to the Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza, who are among the largest per capita recipients of foreign aid worldwide."
Indeed, and that money is to benefit Israel not the Palestinians.
So lets see now. Us sends $5 billion in aid to West Bank Palestinians -- & Israel benefits. A classic case of Palestinian mentality.
AND what does this prove ?
Nothing if you do not understand English.
