Well, at the time Jesus was around, it was a province of Rome. As was all the surrounding territory.Palestine is where Jesus walked.You can't deny a people's legitimacy based on that kind of history. If you did, you'd be denying the rights of Slovenia, Slovakia and Belarus to be states. How long does it take for a people to be a people? Palestine as a place with a high Arab population has been around for centuriesthere was never a Palestine or Palestinian people, for it to be invaded. It was Ottoman land for 700 years, and then British territory.
totally different things. there never was a "Palestine".
if there was:
1. what is the type of government they had?
2. who was the head of state?
3. what did they manufacture or grow?
4. who were their trading partners?
what? you have no answer to those questions but do for the countries you mentioned???
that's because there was no country called Palestine.
and hint: Jerusalem is not mentioned once in the Koran because it has no relationship to any "Palestinian" people other than the jews who populated the region

And show us the ancient borders of Israel? Oh right, it didn't have any, just tribes in the middle of Palestine.
This map is of Roman times. Notice Caesarea Philippi and Tiberius on the map.
when it was an independent land it had defined borders. Roughly from the time of the Maccabees till the time of Marc Anthony.
