No. Before WW1 there was no Palestine. No Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Jordan or Saudi Arabia either. All of the Middle East was part of the Ottoman Empire. The entire area was split up by the League of Nations with the French and English given spheres of influence. They set up monarchies and drew up arbitrary borders. At that time there was no Palestine. It was part of Trans-Jordan

Israel was was given back to the Jews in 1948 because the world world reconised the historical and biblical facts that the Jews own that land for more than 5,600 years . Even with the Arab wealth and oil they could not influence the free world's desission. History also shows and proves the fact that the Israel at no time ever did it refere or belong to the Arab or Palistinians . For 400 years almost the entire Middle East was occupied by the Ottoman Empire ( Turkey) There was no Syria,Iraq,Lebanon Jordan, It was the European powers again because of the influence oil created these countries. In 1948 when the Jews were given back the land of their fore fathers without oil concessions the Arabs protested and attacked Israel , they all had a very short memory and purposely forgetting that they themselves were given land in the exact same way. It is a well known fact to all intelegent people around the world that the word Palistine is derived from the word Philistines.In fact all who lived there Jews,Christians,Arabs Greeks were all called Palistiniansa. There is no Palistinian nation. After conquering the land of Israel the Romans renamed it after the biblical enemies of the Jews. The Philistines who were never ever Arabs but Greek. Again a historical fact the British unlawfully violated the Mandate and instead of giving back the biblical land of Israel back to the Jews who had been living there for thousands of years .In 1922 the British gave almost 80% of the Jewish biblical land of Israel to the Hashemite Arabs now known as Jordan including the West Bank
