I don't know. That's what I was asking Rocco.What “the same people who had been there for the last two Millennium?”OK. so?RE: All The News Anti-Palestinian Posters Will Not Read Or Discuss
SUBTOPIC: The political existence of the state is independent of recognition by the other states.
⁜→ P F Tinmore, et al,
BLUF: We could argue about this until hell freezes over, and not get anywhere.
They became citizens to the "Territory to which the Mandate for Palestine applied." "Hereinafter described as Palestine."(COMMENT)It was Palestine before the Mandate and it is still Palestine.
Could you clarify your point?
The territory to which the Mandate applied was given the name Palestine under paragraph 1 of the Palestine Order in Council. However, the name "Palestine" (westernized) comes to us to identify an undefined territory (generalized region) somewhere in the Levant reaching back (at least) two Millenium. But during the time of the Ottoman Empire, the names were as indicated by the map insert. Again, these names are western translations from Arabic and regional dialects.
As an outcome of the Great War, and a product of the decisions made by the Supreme Council of the Allied Powers as victors of the Great War, there were a series of accords, agreements, treatises, and treaties that lead to the contemporary sovereign boundaries; as well as the delimitations as a remnant of the Oslo Accords.
The map insert (supra) is an approximation to the reality of the day.
Most Respectfully,

Did the people change with the name, or were they the same people who had been there for the last two Millennium?
