Indeed, I think Palestine is the only country in the world that has been occupied its whole life.I don't agree with your assessment. Apparently the rest of the world did not agree at that time either. Were the Palestinians asked if they wanted to cede any land to Jordan?
The Arabs in Palestine were never sovereign over any territory to cede. You could argue (and you do) that they wanted sovereignty. You could argue (and you do) that they had some sort of right to sovereignty. But arguing that they HAD actual sovereignty is simply incorrect.
The Arab Palestinians never had a government which had any sovereign control over any part of the territory (until Oslo).
That does not negate their rights though,
