The history is very clear that, the area known as Palestine was a province of the Ottoman Empire from the 16th Century until the British took control in 1917. From 1917 until 1948, the area was under British operational control and, later, mandate.There was never a Palestinian nation.

If Israel was created in 1948 then it is possible to create Palestine in 2011.
So there was Palestine in 16th C? By the same token can Ottoman come back and reclaim their Palestine?
