Have they not studied long enough... The word Palestinian or palestin was named by the british in the 1900's
From Wikipedia:
The actual Name would have to be Philistines... which lived in the land of Canon.
If the Philistines are to be identified as one of the "Sea Peoples" (see Origins below), then their occupation of Canaan would have to have taken place during the reign of Ramesses III of the Twentieth Dynasty, ca. 1180 to 1150 BC. Their maritime knowledge presumably would have made them important to the Phoenicians.
The patriarchal period begins with Abraham(israelite). Most Bible commentaries place the events surrounding Abraham (originally known as Abram) circa 1800 BCE, give or take 100 years. The account of his life is found in the Book of Genesis, beginning in Chapter 11, at the close of a genealogy of the sons of Shem (which includes among its members Eber, the eponym of the Hebrews).

On 29 November 1947, the United Nations General Assembly passed the United Nations Partition Plan for Palestine (United Nations General Assembly Resolution 181), a plan to resolve the Arab-Jewish conflict by partitioning the territory into separate Jewish and Arab states, with the Greater Jerusalem area (encompassing Bethlehem) coming under international control.
Israel did not become a state until 1947 as well, they lost this territory before it was given to them by the U.N. If we go by your logic we need to leave America because it is still subject to Native American rule, they have a claim on this land dating thousands of years before us

The name came about early in the 20th century, so from the early 20th century to 1948 it was called Palestine. Therefore there was a land called palestine 60 years ago. It belonged to Britain, but it was called Palestine.

Hey brotha! You answered your own question but it was very insiteful. You are correct. Your question begs for further research for those interested in biblical history as it reflects on today's events.

I agree with you. Israel's land is it's own given by God, and you cannot take a God given gift away, without His permission. If you do, you will pay for it.

Who cares? their there right now, and they have just as much right to live as everyone else.
Was this really a question, or just an excuse to rant?
