Your question is flawed because there never was an official palestine...
Israel was legally created out of the dismemberment of the Ottoman Empire at the end of World War I. The area was desolate – desert and swamp – with some small towns and a few inhabitants, many of them nomads.
The inhabitants, if they thought about it at all, considered themselves Syrians. The legitimacy of Israel arises from the Balfour Declaration issued by the British, who were given the mandate over the area by the League of Nations. Jews have lived in the country since Biblical times. The Arabs from the surrounding areas were lured to “Palestine” by the industry and prosperity that the Jews brought to the region. Envy, hatred, and religious fanaticism turned the Arabs against the Jews. In bloody outrages, horrible massacres, killings and rapes, the Arabs tried to dislodge the Jews, but were unable to do so.
In 1947, the British, having tired of the trouble and the bloodshed, resigned their mandate. That same year, the United Nations mandated partitioning of the territory. The Jews, though disappointed, accepted the partition. The Arabs rejected it out of hand and launched war against Israel. The armies of five Arab countries invaded the nascent state. Following the exhortations of the invaders, the Arab residents got out of the way hoping to return after victory was attained. They could then reclaim their property and that of the Jews, all of whom would have been killed or would have fled. That and that alone is the source of the Arab “refugee problem.”
Had the Arabs accepted the UN partition plan, there would now have been a state of “Palestine” for the last 58 years. They might have attained a similar level of prosperity, advancement, and development as Israel, which, small though it is, is today in almost every regard one of the world’s most advanced countries.
They might even had deserved the right to be called "palestinian".

No.No.No.
It's impossible to turn back time. And that's what some Nazis here are suggesting. If your ancestors got here and got citizenship as soon as they got of their boats, why can't people who've worked hard long hours, paid taxes and suffered so much finally acquire what they've strived for?
This world has always been on the move. Nothing is forever. Let decent people live, not tortute them by sweeping them in the dark corners of society. There is a place for everyone under the sun.

Let's roll back the clock and give the land back to the people who owned it. The only problem with that is when? Do we award it to the people who had it in 1500 A. D.? 1000 A. D.? 500 A.D? 1 B.C.? 500 B. C.?
If you decide on ANY era, you'll be dispossessing someone who things the land is theirs. The people you dispossess will try to dispossess someone else. You'll create more wars than if you just left the mess alone.

It's probably not possible, given the number of people involved. However, I believe the original peoples should be compensated financially for their losses. Not only have all these groups lost lands, in many cases they've been the victim of genocide.
