    Prior to the UN proposal it was a British territory. Before that it was part of the Ottoman Empire.

    Palestine has never existed as an independent state.

        Depends on how long you go back. It was Israel/Judea for over 1000 years before the Arab Conquest forced Jews to be scattered to the winds in the first place.
