This is really simple. The REGION of Palestine never HAD a central govt. Never had an Army. Never had a single titular leader. So there were folks that were INDIGENOUS to the area that NEVER exerted the energy to become a state or a nation. They lived for CENTURIES at the whims of various external rulers and empires.
OR EVEN -- likely under the rule of the JEWISH kings of Israel -- way back when.. The REGION of Palestine spent very little of the last 2400 years under ANY FORM of local control. They were Romans or Ottomans or Brits or subjects of King Solomon for that matter. IN BETWEEN empires there was either chaos like the Crusades, or semi peace consisting of VERY sparse and distributed local or tribal govt.
So -- Palestinians are indigenous people to that region. No doubt. But they never LOST a country or a nation or even a central local govt in the process. You MIGHT say -- they never "developed" the property as MILLENIA whizzed by their covered heads.
So when the property came BACK on the market after WW2 -- it was divided. And the rest is the MODERN history of "palestinians".. Tune in NEXT week for the FUTURE of the Palestinian people in the Holy Land.
Anyone got a list of the ancient great LEADERS and RULERS of Palestine? Didn't think so. See?? I can get just as snarky as the propaganda babes in that OP video..
