There's no history of the palestinian people because there are no palestinian people. What we have is a conglomeration of recent Arabic speaking immigrants from the North African area that have no common background. That and the area was Southern Syria and the people considered themselves Syrian under Ottoman rule until Jordan was invented and now they are Jordanian. Ask the Jordanian king ;-)
Israel on the other hand is a homogenous group of people carrying specific genetic markers, sharing a language and culture as well as a religion unique to that culture. So yeah, clearly a unique people.
No palestinian people? Who knew?
