its history is very confusing....
Palestine is still not considered a state. The boundaries actually covered what is known as Gaza Strip and West Bank.

for the map
The region was actually ruled by Christians and Muslims alternatively. After World War 1, the area (Jordan, Israel n West Bank) was ceded to the Brits as part of a treaty with Turkey (they used to rule over the area but lost the WW1).
The Brits initially proposed assigning an area to the JEwish (Palestine). Cos no one except the Jews have stayed in the area before. So the Brits wanted the area to be the national homeland of the JEws. So the Jews moved throughout the entire area n started to build the infrastructure. With ample opportunities in the region, alot of Arabs moved in as well. However, the Brits apparently did not keep their word n divided the area into two parts: Jewish n Arabic. So wat was originally entirely Jewish became shared between the Jews n Arabs. But the the Arabs want to drive away the Jews totally from their area.
Then finally, the Jewish decided to declare their own state of Israel. But then, Israel was soon invaded by the Arabs (Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Yemen). But then, Israel managed to hold onto their grounds.
However, now it gets abit messy. Palestinians no longer refer to the Jews (read the last few para for why i said this). The formation of Palestine Liberation ORganisation (PLO)actually is made up of Arabs to fight against Israel's take over of wat is actually rightfully Israeli Jews. A series of negotiation took place n Israel agreed to leave some areas to the newly formed Palestine Authority (PA) with Yasser Arafat as the leader.
But, Israel and PLO continued to fight n fight over the rightful ownership of the areas. Becos Arafat insisted on an area of East Jerusalem to be the captial city of Palestine. Neither sides wanna budge so violence ensues.
"The Middle East war is not now and never was a conflict between Israelis/Jews on the one hand and Palestinians on the other. In fact, the Arab-"Palestinians", while currently the perpetrators of most of the anti-Jewish atrocities, were never a very important part of the conflict. In fact, before about 1970, virtually no one in the world considered the Middle East conflict to be one between Israelis and Palestinians.
The term "Palestinian" itself had referred to Israeli Jews back in the 1940s, and had been slowly deconstructed and redefined to refer to the Arabs in the West Bank and Gaza. The Middle East Conflict was always a war by Arabs against Jews, not a conflict between Israelis and "Palestinians." The war was repackaged as a conflict between Jews and Palestinians as a public relations gimmick by the Arab fascist regimes. These regimes had never had any interest in "Palestinians," in creating a "Palestinian" state, or in "Palestinian nationalism" before 1967. That is because Palestinian nationalism did not and DOES NOT exist. The Palestinians were a regional group of Arabs having virtually no cultural nor national distinctive traits separating them from Syrians, Lebanese, and Jordanians. They are all basically Arabs!.
The bulk of what are called "Palestinian Arabs" are members of families who migrated into the Land of Israel beginning in the late 19th century. Palestinian nationalism is a mislabeling of Arab nationalism. Arab nationalism exists, although it is closely bound up with Islamic nationalism and even Islamism. Palestinian nationalism, however, is a phantom. It is nothing more than genocidal hatred of Jews!
The Arab assaults and aggressions against Israel in 1948, 1956, 1967, 1968, and 1973 had nothing to do with Palestinians. The Palestinian terror campaign would itself be easy to suppress today and eradicate if the Middle East conflict were really a Palestinian-Israeli conflict. Israel would simply obliterate the terrorists and expel their supporters to Syria and Lebanon. The Middle East war continues because it is really an Arab-Israeli war, not an Israeli-Palestinian conflict. It is also in large part a war between barbarism and civilization. In many ways an Islamic religious jihad against the Jews."
