That’s just as dumb as saying there was never any Native American states because it doesn’t fit my/western definitions of what qualifies as a state. Therefore those people have no entitlement to land or life.
There never was a state called Palestine, the British took control of the land from the Ottomans. The Ottomans had controlled the land for centuries and before them the Syrians

You mean terrorities who issued passports and gave temporary permits to Jews after British brought them there?
There are “Palestinian territories” but no functioning state matching eg the definition of statehood declared in the 1933 Montevideo Convention.
