Palestine & a Palestinian people are a manufactured myth(Yasser Arafat scam).

So why, prior to 1948, did the British and before them the Ottomans, call it Palestine?

Because it is a regional name for an area - like Gold coast, or The Illawarra, or New England, or The Pilbara ... on and on... The Sahara ..... it never was and unless promulgated, never will be a country.

Therefore there are no Palestinians, no such nationality - etc.

If you want to go further - the region was lived in by Arabs, Philistines (of some Greek origin), Druze and other Christians, descendant of Crusaders, Persians, Turks, and wait for it - JEWS. The GAZANS had their own place called - GAZA.

It was never a wholly Arab or Muslim area... it was a mixed population area with no distinct boundaries and those changed all the time, and it was almost entirely once the Hebrew lands.

Capisce?

Same sh!t, different arse.

Even Jews living in the region before 1948 referred to themselves as Palestinian Jews, and the Arabs, Palestinian Arabs, along with their tribal/settlement allegiance name within Palestine.

Using the region's name to define the people living in it is an accession to the name.

Capisce?

Even if it were true that the Palestinian people had neither a state, nor a distinct culture or language, is that reason enough to confiscate their homes, farms, and businesses, killing and displacing hundreds of thousands in the process?

Or to block their return to their homes?

Or to deny them their basic human rights in the country in which they were born?

The Palestine? Same as The Israel?
It had a capital city like 'The Jordan' had.
''The decisive battle that delivered Palestine to the Muslims took place on August 20, 636. Palestine, and indeed all of Syria, was then in Muslim hands. After the surrender of Jerusalem, ʿUmar divided Palestine into two administrative districts (jund) similar to the Roman and Byzantine provinces: they were Jordan (Al-Urdun) and Palestine (Filasṭīn). Jordan included Galilee and Acre and extended east to the desert; Palestine, with its capital first at Lydda (now Lod, Israel) and later at Ramla (after 716), covered the region south of the Jezreel Valley.'
