That wasn't the question. It was about Palestine as an independent Arab State historically which it was not.. There was British Mandate Palestine which included Jews and before that Ottoman (Turkish rule). I was talking about more recent history. The area has changed hands numerous times.
Palestinian Arab identity was created in more modern times by Arafat.
This topic is not about whether Israel has a right to exist or not.
It's about the ignorance of Abbas about the holocaust.
